Although i despise VB.

http://gambas.sourceforge.net/ -> VB like syntax

http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page -> VB.net, win or Linux.

http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/ -> VB.net (win only)

VB6, perhaps. VB.NET 2005 Express Edition: Free for one year! Just like the rest of the VS 2005 Express Editions.
