We can all argue until we are blue in the face about inheritance, but in the end, the market and Microsoft may not value it the way we do.
The fact is that Delphi, all versions of Java (including Microsoft J++), VFP, Powerbuilder, and C++ all have inheritance. VB does not. Look at how the market has "punished" VB for not having OOP, then decide how much it matters.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
