Also Delphi programs have less bugs than VB programs,
because all necessary stuff is put in the exe, so you
don't need to ship special dlls with your program and
it is working on all windows. Good is also that
Delphi 6 and the Linux version Kylix are free for
non-commercial use.
On the other hand VB is better supported by
microsoft (because VB is from MS ;-) and it has
a 'change code at runtime' feature, and if you are
looking for a job in the US then VB might be better
because more companies there us VB and don't
know about Delphi (while in europe not many
people use VB)
