That's probably changing.

I honestly don't understand CG's current strategy regarding .NET,

..Net is a platform that we leverage to the advantage of Delphi
developers. We believe that ASP.NET is a great tool for building
websites and web applications, so we are providing a solution for
Delphi developers to leverage ASP.NET to develop web sites.

We think that VCL.NET is a superior solution for building desktop
applications in the managed space. We leverage the advantages of the
..Net platform with our proven VCL framework to provide a solution for
managed client applications.

If your view of a ".Net Strategy" is "support everything on the .Net
platform, chasing Microsoft around and trying to be Visual Studio.Net",
then we don't have a .Net Strategy.

If you think that .Net is a framework that Delphi developers can
leverage to accomplish what they want to accomplish, then you'll
understand our .Net strategy a little bit better.

Leverage, not tail chasing. Focus, not shotgun splattering.
