[DUG] A change in upgrade policy coming from Embarcadero

[Sean Cross]

What ngen does is a fairly long way away from what aot does.  For most of
the reasons you would want native code, ngen isn't much help.  For a
starter, it looks like ngening is typically done at install time not at
compile time.

It creates a native image of the assembly for the current processor/OS
it was executed on.

Well "native" delphi code won't run too well without a number of
windows DLLs either, therefore native delphi code still requires "a"
framework. It is just that the .NET framework isn't always installed
by default. You have to be careful when trying to split hairs.

One company (can't remember which now) actually provided a sandbox
solution for .net applications. It was mighty expensive IIRC.
