From what I see so far of the route that Embarcadero takes (complete reimplementation of compiler, sudden appearence of "type helpers" and things like "zero based strings") I predict that we'll reach a point in the near(!) future where we won't (be able to) follow Delphi's lead anymore. And thus I don't think that we'll need to wait for Embarcadero for this.
For what my opinion is worth, I believe that we can learn from what happened when Clarion bought JPI/TopSpeed: they were interested in owning the technology rather than in ongoing sales of the compilers etc.
