Hi guys, Just to clarify, we're not doing cross platform and then Win64, we're doing them in parallel (one of the benefits of an increased R&D budget under Embarcadero). Cross platform will make it to market earlier however.
Mike Swindell covers it more in a comment on Marco's post here http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/delphi_cross_platform_anderson.html : "Crossplatform and 64bit are two separate projects running in parallel. 64bit is moving fast but will take longer to get to market than xplat. 64bit has many implications on the existing customer Delphi and VCL Windows codebase. xplat is certainly a lot work (new compilers and VCL framework) but has a different type of of impact and expectation on existing code bases. ie we're more free to make breaking changes when going cross platform than 64bit. " I get that it's disappointing to some people, that's unfortunate, and we looked long and hard at how we could do this any other way. Unfortunately but any major roadmap decision is likely to be make some people unhappy. We'll get them both out as soon as we can.
