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.
