lol you don't actually consider 512Mb a lot of ram now do you ?
Having done ( and still doing ) extensive work using .net ( winforms , webforms & compact ) i'd say your talking out your @$$. ;-) i think your final statement says it all - "Yes it has a learning curve, but it is still vastly better..." an educated guess is that you've never really taken the time to learn .net the way you have with delphi.
