I think .NET ought to go.

The new slogon will be "Delphi everywhere", so that .NET will remain, as
will Win32/Win64. In the past I hated the allocation of resources
towards .NET development because I thought that meant they were focusing
less on Win32/Win64. That is now obviously no longer the case, so why
should they now remove .NET from the equation?

Because they are likely to face much smaller budgets now than when they were
with Borland. They simply can't afford the luxury of trying to compete with
Redmond anymore. It's not impossible to compete with MSFT, it is just
impossible to do it on a shoestring budget.

Things are really
getting exciting now, in a good way.

I have yet to see anything good happening as a result of Borland's decision
to divest. I'm sorry but I'm not going to lie and pretend everything is
great, when it is not. Show me what great thing has happened so far. All I'm
seeing are predictions that great things will happen. Humanity has an
appallingly bad track record when it comes to prophecy.
