do appreciate all the efforts you guys put into these projects. Keep
up the great work - CodeGear should tremble in their boots!
Their latest newsletter suggests that they are going to target .Net and .Net and .Net.

While I am not really convinced that this is a bad strategy, given CIL's technical features and flexibility, the rise of Silverlight, Mono, Moonlight and even commercially originated (neither Microsoft not community based) embedded CIL frameworks, FP (at the moment) targets native code and if I would want to do a Pascal .NET project I would prefer Oxygen (former "Chrome" over Delphi.
Okay, that's my advertising done for the month! :-)

I support this, as Lazarus now finally seems to approach version 1.x :)

I do recommend Lazarus for new projects and startup-programmers. But I do recommend installing the free Turbo-Delphi in parallel (even if having to install Windows on another (virtual) PC) to take advantage of it's much better help system.
