[DUG] Delphi and next Windows OS

[Paul A Norman]

Thanks for that Nicholas, I had not read any thing definitive and have only
had the WinFX XAML stuff on board and not the full Vista beta (what was that
Longhorn?)
 So I was very keen to check out how far the .NET satrategy had gone in
preparing new applications for the Vista roll out next year.
 Doea any one know if there is anything we need to prepare for in Vista? I
havn't found anything Delphi specific about it so far.
