I love the idea.  but I'd much rather stick to a shorter name.

I propose:

  comp.binaries.mswindows

I'd say let the vbasic stuff go in mswindows for now, and if it really
takes off (i'm not much of a fan for it myself), then newgroup it as well,
something like comp.binaries.mswindows.vbasic.  (which conveniently allows
for other hierarchies).

Uh, what about comp.windows.ms and comp.windows.ms.programmer that 
have been in existance for quite some time now??  Or were you talking 
about a group with a different purpose that I didn't quite catch...
