VDS is high priced as it is..not as high priced as some compilers out there, but high priced.
There are products out there that offer more than VDS with just a bit more of a learning curve, for almost a 3rd of the price. Before you tell me to go use them, I've paid for VDS and I also help others with it when I can.
Soon IBasic will compile to ASM, for I'm sure less than the current price of VDS. VDS could have that ability and pull in alot more users.

I heard about ASM before, what exactly is it?

ASM is Assembly Language. Pretty much like writing programs in machine code. It's as fast and as small(exe size) as you can get I think.
You can see some source code at http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone5/mh1.htm

That are short commands! I just downloaded MASM32, but I still don't understand... Confused

If IBASIC is going to compile directly to ASM its very nice. I hope VDS should also do that - the code will have smallest footprint and can be highly optimised and fastest as the app is directly taking to the machine. C++ apps are also very near this.
