I have never seen new remote (tele-commuting) employee jobs for Delphi, only contractor, or long
term employees going for telecommuting...

Just as an aside from the current conversation, I would seriously look at a
Delphi job if the company didn't need me on site. Living in Palmerston North
and don't really want to move.
Delphi 1 to 2005, TPv3 to Borland Pascal. (Even Turbo Vision: That was
interesting)
What are peoples views on tele-commuting?
Or do I just have to bite the bullet and move?
Secondly, how do employers rate a good programmer?

This is exactly my point, .Net was a reaction to Java, XAML is reactive
to XUL, Freedom to inovate, bullshit, I also find in hilarious that
people who buy into the M$ justify it on the consistency of supply where
recent history would indicate the opposite
What I love about OS dev products is changes are total demand driven
with no subtext

It is a danger with .NET. Compare with Internet Explorer. IE got mega
bucks
thrown at it by Microsoft because they perceived a threat that Netscape
could eventually provide an alternative to the Windows platform by having
a
multi-platform rich interface web browser.
Once Microsoft had strangled Netscape and ensure market dominance they
suddenly killed IE development. Almost all of the new technologies which
had
been under development for a richer browser environment were effectively
put
on hold at the same time... which was probably Microsoft's plan from the
start.
I see some parallels here. Java was getting too much popularity behind it
and it's cross platform nature and rich interface potential was/is a
serious
threat. So .NET is unleashed upon the world.
The difference is that Java isn't likely to die like Netscape did. So
Microsoft may end up having to push .NET as their long term solution
rather
than just using it for a single battle. Only time will tell I guess.

RE:
There are some big shops still using as far as I can tell, but a lot have
moved to .NET over the last 2 years.
Now that M$ have sucessfully used .net to restrict Java in the
middleware area, will they focus on the UI again and push XAML
In which case these guys will have to move again
