Aside (and a rant - sorry): In common I am sure with very many other who
have been waiting impatiently for 64-bit Delphi, 64-bit capability is
FAR more important than generics or partial classes, for example.

Generics, partial classes etc - these are all "nice to haves" (for some
- I personally have yet to be convinced that they are even "nice to
have". They absolutely aren't "necessary").

My understanding is that generics are necessary for Net 2.0 support, and are
not a nice-to-have.

For me, 64-bit is a nice-to-have. The apps I develop wouldn't even benefit
64-bit and none of my customers have 64-bit servers up and running anyway.
My 64-bit servers run all my 32 bit apps just fine.
