Well, this is what I mean by a confusing roadmap.

I interpreted it this way too and put the question to Embarcadero directly.
Fortunately Allen Bauer has confirmed that 64-bit has actually been moved UP
the list.


Well, actually, the 64-bit aspect is still on schedule (the schedule as set
by the previous roadmap at least).

What has changed is that "Commodore" is now the release that will contain
the full CROSS-PLATFORM 64-bit/Mac/Linux technology.

*Windows* 64-Bit (what I, at least, previousl understood "Commodore" to be)
will be delivered in "Pulsar", currently anticipated to be NEXT years
release (2011).
