Motivated by excellent comparisons of spin wave theory (SWT) with Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations of non-interacting hardore bosons (Bernardet et al.) and superlattices (Hen et al.), we develop an SWT for interacting hardcore bosons on a d-dimensional cubic lattice at zero temperature and compare thermodynamical properties with results of Stochastic Series Expansions (SSE): there is good comparison between SWT and SSE results for the simple cubic lattice at small repulsive strengths but differences arise between the results of the two approaches for the square lattice at strong repulsions. The boundaries of the three phases - Mott insulating (MI), superfluid (SF) and N\'{e}el solid (NS) - can be readily estimated from calculations of particle density, signalling either a first order (SF <--> NS) or second order transition (MI <--> SF). Comparison is made with results of the Bethe ansatz in one dimension and QMC in two dimensions.
