I'd like to see Mac, Linux & 64 bit support. I'm now trying to make Delphi apps work using Wine/CrossOver on both Linux and Mac... with varying success. iPhone and iPad = Mac support (more or less). Android support = Linux support (more or less). >> >> But at some point it becomes cutting off your nose to spite your >> face... anyone who develops seriously in Delphi needs Delphi to be a >> viable commercial product and that means being willing to pony up for >> some money occasionally in my opinion. >> No issue here. However I think Embarcadero should release at least *some* bugfixes for the most annoying problems for older versions. I haven't seen a single bugfix (if I'm being ignorant here please let me know!) for Delphi 2010 and now XE is here there never will be. cheers, J. _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
