Re: Delphi 2005 Personal


In fact I like the C# language and the nice class hierarchy, and I
think that VS.NET is great, but if I write a .NET app I want it to be
as fast and little as Win32. Thinstall has been mentioned, but the
typical app size is 4-7 MB and it loads significantly slower than Win32.
With those annoyances, why would I want to program for .NET?
