That's what I'm debating. After putting together a minimal C# app and
watching it run in 20MBytes of memory, compared to a full blown Delphi
WIN32 app running in 5MBytes, I couldn't help thinking "bloated"?

In another place I occaisonally hang out, C9, a Microsoft BBS, someone
there mentioned they had jumped ship from Delphi to C#. They commented
that Delphi.NET was buggy - no idea, never really tried it myself.
Perhaps they were thinking of earlier versions?
