How about a voice of reason.......just give use ALL the features....NOW !! J
To be honest tho. I could do with Cross Platform now as well as 64bit now. But maybe there is a quicker win with cross platform for Embarcadero than 64bit.

Don't take this the wrong way, but the Internet is really good for drawing like people together more than people who disagree. All of the social networking concepts really encourage you to follow people who are like-minded - blogs, facebook, twitter, etc. I wouldn't be surprised that people who follow your blog want 64 bit more than cross platform. I have to agree with you on that though, I have seen much more of a demand for 64 bit than cross platform. But in NZ, we tend to be outliers rather than the norm. Malcolm is responsible for pretty much all of Asia/Pacific - so his territory covers NZ, Australia, India, Taiwan, Korea, China, South East Asia, Singapore and I think Japan. Thats a lot of differing opinion - and I suspect the growing number of Mac people in "real life" is contributing towards it. 2009/10/14 Jolyon Smith <jsm...@deltics.co.nz> Ø From what Malcolm says though Im in the minority. Im surprised but it wouldnt be the first time ;-). I would love to know where Malcom gets his numbers because the empirical evidence seems to contradict his figures starkly. For instance, among visitors to my blog, did all those people who thought that cross-platform is a better idea than 64-bit simply choose not to comment and point out the error in my thinking? Currently the comments are running about 12/13:1 in the exact *opposite* bias to that which Malcolms comments would have suggested I could expect. -- --- Richard Vowles, Technical Advisor Developers Inc Ltd web. http://www.developers-inc.co.nz ph. +64-9-3600231, mob. +64-275-467747, fax. +64-9-3600384 skype. rvowles, LinkedIn, Twitter
