Re: New Delphi roadmap is coming: NO UNICODE PLEASE!

It seems like a total waste of CodeGear manpower to me. Delphi already
has great Unicode support using 3rd party components. Can't remember
exact names off the top of my head but people post them here from time
to time (look them up if you're interested). And I do know 2 great
application (developed using Delphi) with perfect Unicode support:
"Skype" and "Total Commander". If they could do this you could do this
too, just invest some $$$ in components and stop complaining here.

Instead of CodeGear working on Unicode I'd prefer Win64 and full Vista
support!

Just my $0.02

LOL, these applications has not perfect supported unicode.
Also when I'm doing any unicode application I have to add some extra
code to use it properly.
Unicode approach in Tnt controls is very nonstandard and is causing
bugs.
And at last unicode is not VCL native feature and therefore any
additions and effort to make it(e.g. hooking) causing application
slowdown.
For me unicode request is on the first position. Win64 and .net is not
necessary IMO for the moment.
