HOW TRUE! I totally agree. .NET is a "marketing phantom" for Delphi

Have you checked out WPF lately? If you want the resolution-independent,
vector-based, properly composited experience with WPF, you've got no
choice - you must go .NET, because there's no unmanaged API.

There are two other alternatives: (1) stick with existing Win32 and look
old and out of place (remember Win 3.1 vs Win 95, white dialogs vs
grey?), or (2) develop your own compositing engine.
