Not yet to the fullest. That's why Delphi is faster than VB. One survey stated that out of 34 products with compiler that were reviewed (speed, ease of use, rich features), Delphi ranks no. 1 while VB ranks no. 32; Borland C no. 3, VC++ No. 8. Good thing, VB is an MS product that it has its advantages because of VBA, VBSCRIPT, CE, etc. With that said, it is still the no. 1 devt tool as far as user count is concern.
