NZ PCWorld page 31, Under VB for Linux.
Having re-read the item, I wouldn't rely on the fact the author got all the
facts correct. It is also stated that "Microsoft's recent manoeuvring in the
world of Linux" (talking about buying some of Corel). It is well known that
Microsoft are using the Corel programmers for .Net.
Anyway this is coming from the publication that suggested Delphi exists in
Why bother land!
