If your looking for a VB like environment on the Mac take a look at Real Basic.
It is similar, although not really a clone. As I recall one of the nice things about it is that it can produce cross platform code. User community is very helpful also. I have not used it in a few years but it was a good solution back in the day. :)
 
help?

Hey, I was surprised to stumble once again across macrumours and found your thread.

I am too doing a computer course which involves the use of Visual basic 2008 and i also have a blackbook :D 2.16 C2D.

I have partitioned my harddrive to give 15GB to a Windows 7 bootcamp and am using parellel to run it. This is my first suggestion.

I have also got another program called VMware fusion. This is soooo slow.

Using parellel to run it makes it feel somewhat fast.

I find it no problem to do visual basic 2008 through the partition and you most probably have a macbook pro :p so if you maybe bought a CD from college of a copy of windows XP, then you could run it through that and it would be ultra fast.

Windows 7 Ultimate on my black C2D 2.1 , 3Gb ram runs perfect so on a mac pro using XP it would rinse the ****.

hope i helped
