[DUG] Turbo Delphi

[James Sugrue]

Linux is great - I use Gentoo. I even used to use Linux solely and used any
Win32 apps in a VMware window (printing issues forced me to change back to
winXp). 

My point was that Linux isn't even a blip on the Business Desktop radar -
you can come up with Red Hat or Novell inspired propaganda you like, but the
true fact is there just isn't a justifiable reason to develop business
applications for Linux. 

I'd love to be proven wrong.

Cheers,
