- No it doesn't!
-
- No multithreading - which makes it unusable for producing shareware!
-
- The number one selling point of shareware these days (in case you
- haven't noticed) is that it takes advantage of the OS it runs on,
- in the NT/Win95 world this means multithreading.
-
- A newsreader should e.g. import news and email in the background,
- a web browser should not cease functioning just because you decide
- to download a file or print something, etc..etc...
-
- Delphi OTOH fills 100% of anything I might need to do, and it always
- does the job extremely well. Why on earth would I consider VB, and
- why should the original poster not dump VB? VB is indeed inferior in every
- possible evaluation category (no-one has so far said otherwise) and that
- is perhaps what the conclusion should be?
