Actually I suspect the real reason for this would actually be the lack
of uptake of Kylix (which is unfortunate because it is a pretty good
product) rather than the state of the Linux desktop, which is now
arguably more than adequate to allow migration.
Rather than discussing rumours, it would be useful to get a firm
position on all this from Borland USA if they have one at this time.
Furthermore I think anyone who believes Win32 is dead and .NET is going
to somehow take over immediately is mistaken - for instance, look at how
long some Win16 applications survived. A lot of people feel the need to
migrate to .NET right now, and I understand that to accommodate those
people Borland has to fully support it, but on the other hand I don't
believe they can afford to leave Win32 behind just yet.
Cheers,
Paul
