Soeren Soerensen mentioned this to Alle:
 SS> Can anybody give me the 3 best reasons, NOT to use VB, but to use Delphi
 SS> instead ?
1. True OOP.
2. True compiled EXE.
3. Easily create your own custom components.
4. No huge runtime DLLs.
5. Bigger and better selection of included controls.
6. Can use all of the Windows API, including callbacks, pointers, and 
resources.
7. Default parameter passing convention is by value, not by reference.
8. Two-way code and form designer (changes in one are automatically reflected 
in the other).
9. Customize or enhance any of the built-in controls.
10. Visual form inheritance.
11. All controls properties have enumerated, descriptive values. You don't 
have to look up or remember obscure numeric codes for things like flags or 
options.
12. Most controls are compiled into the EXE.  No installation or version 
incompatibilities.
13. OCX controls are also supported.
Oops, you wanted only three.  Sorry.
