[DUG] More Delphi news...

[James Sugrue]

Playing devils advocate for a minute....

Clearly breaking apps is a different story, but isn't evolving your business
model to take on your competitors just good business sense? 

I would argue that some of the stuff they are doing in the .NET space is
innovative, whereas others is taking someone else's idea and making it
better. Isn't that just the way the world works? Ferrari(or Porsche if you
prefer) didn't invent the car they just build on Benz's ideas and made them
better. Do you feel the same about them?

Im not quite sure how numbers could be 'anti .NET' but i'm not surprised 
by the numbers 0.1% would have been to much.

Does anyone remember OS/2 and how one of the office apps used to fall 
over in it

Its quite obvious how M$ work, muddy, divide, conquer, The
examples of this are endless and .NET is just one to slow Java, if XUL 
takes off, we bring in XAML, If Ajax gets a foothold ...

Freedom to innovate..bullshit
