Then, what will be the benefits of using Delphi for .NET programming?
Keep appart the fact that Delphi has been in our hearts for a lot of
years ;)

I think the real Delphi advantage is on their VCL library and great
components available, but now, with .NET there is an easier
alternative.

They will do, in fact they can do it at any time, MS can buy Borland
even if they don't want to sell it (money can do everything ;) ). If
borland is alive is because of the MS fear to the monopoly laws.

Congratulations for your move, but think about this: all of your
clients have moved to linux with you? I think that our real problem is
that, sometimes, we have to "obey" our clients and they don't want to
make a change, even if it is necessary... :(
