- Several factors influence Delphi's success. One of these is MS' superior
- marketing department which have more funds to advertise their underpowered
- development tool. VB'ers might have some idea of why Delphi haven't
- yet reached VB's number of users (granted, it sold a lot more than
- anyone expected a year ago, but it still hasn't outsold VB).

- But you object to anything Delphi related?
-
- You once complained (in email) to me when I suggested Delphi to someone
- who considered VC++ instead of VB. I thought that my posting was a valid
- advice, but you (at the time) took it as a commercial. Well, if we
- Delphians are so eager to do Borland's job (the marketing bit), then it
- truly must be a fabolous product, don't you agree? :-)
