I've got 25 bucks, anyone got a spare couple mill?

- strip dotnet out : thats 2 products at 1 price

- build communication tools : delphi <-> Java <-> c#,

and build a consistently named and behaving set

of libraries across each - Jedi?

- pick the best out of Modula2, Modula3, Oberon put

that into Delphi then push it as the only Win native

graphical environment

- add a new vb7 compiler :)

- add a (probly new) scripting language in somewhere

- rather than QT have a XUL ui option

- Profit!!!

Cheers, Kurt.

Nick's Delphi Blog has some interesting thoughts on it.

Hopefully they'll fix the F11 problem! Anybody notice it changed from D7 to D2005. Half the time I press it it takes me to the code and not the object inspector. Bugs me lots. Either that or I never noticed in D7 - can't test it there as I don't have it installed anymore.

Nahum.

… but can’t help think this is a good thing for Delphi. Hopefully the company who takes over will do some decent marketing and listen to its clients (us)…
