Chronozphere you take the point, i personnally don't think Embarcadero will last long like that yet.

Since the times people says that Delphi is dead, it seems to be of a slow and painful death.

Hopefully there's FPC/Lazarus yet, but after that the alternative is C#, and... well .. i prefer to stop programming when this day will come.

But not yet, not yet... let suffering some more

for XE2 , embarcadero is better to move it's ass or it will weight the consequences.
