Well lets say you wanted to make something for the Pocket PC? There are a good few PalmOS compilers but only .NET will allow you to program for the Pocket PC. And the two options are Delphi 8/2005 or Chrome.

Unfortunately if you are already cross-platform(ala FPC) then unless you want to go to that one platform in conjunction with Windows then it's not that great of a benefit. But it is a variety option which is rather nice considering the clunky nature of Delphi 2005. I believe this leads into a Delphi 2005 and .NET support, unhappyness issue from here?
