Hi guys,

Just to clarify, we're not doing cross platform and then Win64, we're
doing them in parallel (one of the benefits of an increased R&D budget
under Embarcadero). Cross platform will make it to market earlier
however.

Mike Swindell covers it more in a comment on Marco's post here
http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/delphi_cross_platform_anderson.html :

"Crossplatform and 64bit are two separate projects running in parallel.
64bit is moving fast but will take longer to get to market than xplat.
64bit has many implications on the existing customer Delphi and VCL
Windows codebase. xplat is certainly a lot work (new compilers and VCL
framework) but has a different type of of impact and expectation on
existing code bases. ie we're more free to make breaking changes when
going cross platform than 64bit. "

I get that it's disappointing to some people, that's unfortunate, and we
looked long and hard at how we could do this any other way.
Unfortunately but any major roadmap decision is likely to be make some
people unhappy. We'll get them both out as soon as we can.

Cheers
Malcolm
