I want to wait and see if there is a posibility to compile Delphi for iPhone 
and/or Android.   If  Embarcadero are smart enough to jump into that hugely 
growing niche and it eventuates then Delphi could be a killer language 
again.   Neither of those platforms are likely to see .NET anytime soon and 
are likely to be the biggest development areas over the next 10 years. 
Likely to start killing Windows too.

Thats a prediction, as I saw minicomputers killed by the PC in the 90's
