Delphi produces fast, small (most of my apps still fit on a floppy) standalone exes (no vbrunxx.dlls!!!) and can do just about anything that VC++ can do.
I'm onto D7 now and regularly develop apps with hardware access, interfacing to com ports is trivial (there are some great freeware components) and lpt can be accessed directly using inline assembler (I also use a some free components to allow low level access unde win2k/xp). ; USB access with FTDI's chip works brilliantly with their free drivers.
Don't be tainted by the popularity of MS products, a LOT of professionals/companies develop using Delphi.

A couple years ago I mentioned to Pavel that I
had used Delphi, version 1, but have become rusty with it. He said, don't
put down Delphi, CodeVisionAVR is written using Delphi. Now here is a guy that
has to be very good in Delphi in order to write a C complier for AVRs. He also
speaks English better than I do.
