So what you are saying is that Delphi and .NET IDE languages are commodity products and we should concentrate on other areas like testing, modeling, requirements management, software process management and deployment? Good idea!
Yes, there are a few well known "Delphi" names over on the .NET list and we hope with Delphi 8 there will be a whole lot more :-) Personally, I think .NET is great - it is the Borlandization of Microsoft - so if it helps to make the life easier of people who develop software then I'm all for it and I know that Borland is as well.

That can't be good for Borland or Delphi. As you say the other tools Borland has will probably see its future rosy, but I'm more interested in the future of Delphi. If even ex Delphi developers can't see that there is a reason enough to stay with Delphi over C# then that can't be a good thing surely. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
