Re: Delphi Product Manager questioned

IMO, this notion comes from the realization that Borland/DevCo's

This is a misinformed realization.

We have tons of new features in the IDE, and significant new work in
the VCL, that benefits our Win32 customers directly.

On the tours I've been on since we launched BDS 2006, at least 80% of
my time has been spent showing features DIRECTLY USABLE by our Win32
customers.

This is a case of people focusing too much on something they may not
want yet, and thinking that nothing else is being done on the product
without really looking and seeing what's there.

That said, it's clear to me we need to provide more marketing related
material that reinforces that Delphi is the best *Windows* development
tool in the world, regardless of whether you're using the Windows
managed API (.NET) or native (Win32).
