Nick, you seem to love accusing without even making a basic
google search first.
You'll find below three random google quotes, I'll let you and others
read them, use them as starting point for their google searches,
and judge how much these, and the threads they were taken from,
wouldn't imply that D8 isn't being promoted as the way to Win64
in Delphi, or how much they differ in spirit from my simplification.
<<The only thing he [Danny Thorpe] has said on this subject is:
"Borland has been working for the past three years on developing a Delphi
technology that can be used with AMD64 / IA-32e. We shipped it in
December 2003. It's called Delphi for .NET." (and he repeated part of
this in another message).
Now some may interpret this as a statement that they will never do
anything for native Win64. I only see it as a statement that if you want
your Delphi code to run on 64 bits, you can already do that now, using
D8fN.>>

<<Why would a 64-bit native Delphi compiler sell /better/ than a .Net
solution for that platform? That's sort of my point -- I don't think
it will, given that .Net will be everywhere on the 64-bit platform.>>
Nick Hodges, 2004-02-21 14:09:39 PST in "Re: Intel announces 64-bit extensions"
<<Borland's current research shows the market isn't large enough to warrant
developing a Win64 compiler according to Danny Thorpe. Unless you have research
showing the size of the developer market and how much of that reasonably would
use Delphi, I'll go with the research done by Borland at this time. They get 64
bit support by default with the .NET version, so you would have to show the need
for a native Win64 compiler that easily offsets the cost of developing such a
product (especially with the WinXx API's being depreciated by MS in favor of
.NET which will be the native API within a few years)..>>
