Ok, I have more targeted directions now. We have 3 different languages we are primarily developing right now. A lot of people are using Delphi for client and server applications. Then we have web teams working in ASP and in CF. Now with Delphi adding web components there is a push to have the existing Delphi developers learn the web components that were recently added. The systems manager just came down ad spoke with us about it. I guess that the web components are not intuitive to use, and he is looking for information on performance, development time and such, contrasting to CF and ASP.
Now I am not sure why it's a .Net vs. CF thing at all. Delphi is a Borland product isn't it? Does it (not sure about the terminology here) compile into something that deals with the CLR? I know there are many different languages you can develop .Net apps with, is Delphi one of them? Also I just heard that CFMX will be authorized in the next few months (we have a long security vetting process which an application must go through prior to approval). Now if we are able to go to MX then we get many of the buzz word abilities that people keep praising in .Net, web services, xml integration and so forth. Anyone know of an update ASP vs. CF white paper? I remember seeing one a while ago that showed how you would need to build a $60,000 ASP/IIS server in order to get all the equal functionality you get from CF Ent. Is this true? Anyway I have a bunch of research to do.

Think that the first time I've heard for Delphi v's CF !!! Well it's essentially a .NET v's CF. To be honest, with CF5- v's .NET , .NET probably wins overall. CF MX is a different matter....
