This is what I learned to program in as well. Back when I learned (hehe, uphill both ways, no doubt) it was on Windows 95. QBasic is really really good for learning simple programming concepts. I never quite wrapped my head around the concept of a subroutine, but I was doing all sorts of inputing and outputing and simple games. It was awesome, and very simple for the 3rd grade me to pick up quickly.
