Latest issue has BeOS 4 demo (runs from CD, via >boot floppy, full and unrestricted but can't be installed to HD), Lotus >Organiser 96, Visual Prolog, Idealist 3, lots more stuff, Win and Linux. That's cools. Here in Chile PC Magazine does something similar with IBM, Symantec and Corel products mainly. Usually they are 60-days trials :( I remember one case last year when a company published a programming course that included a "free" version of Delphi 1! If you really want to evaluate 2 competitive products you certainly need the latest version... including offical support, tech-support is very important when dead line is comming and you can overcome an issue. Returning to the original question: I prefer Delphi. If you're client is really short of time and youdon't care giving him a far-from-perfect application, then sell your soul to the devil and get VB.
