If Delphi where to support the .NET Common Language Runtime it would
probably be a very cut-down version of delphi wouldnt it, because the CLR
already provides much of the functionality that delphi does, including the
actual development environment (???). My understanding is that different
languages are essentially just plugins??? It even supports COBOL
(involuntary shudder as i write that).

Me too. Delphi 7 is another case tho - Borland have a history and commitment
to support pretty much anything MS produces, so I'd say there would
eventually be support in there - when and what, I dunno.
