Yes, it does. I'm guessing they're referring to the IDispose interface and pattern which Delphi.NET automagically maps calls to Free onto so that resources _other_ then memory get released early. Without the IDispose idiom (which can be somewhat tedious in C# outside of using blocks), you end up relying on .NET Finalizers which are nasty, discouraged, and generally doubleplus ungood.
