[DUG] Delphi roadmap

[Jolyon Smith]

>From the article...

"Denver frees PCs, workstations and servers from the hegemony and
inefficiency of the x86 architecture"


Hegemony...

"often mistakenly used to suggest brute power or dominance, when it is
better defined as emphasizing how control is achieved through consensus not
force"

WinTel is successful not because Microsoft forced people to buy it and use
it, but because people chose it over the alternatives.


Before committing resources, Embarcadero would do well to wait and see what
actually develops in this space.  Technology companies creating tech to be
sold doesn't necessarily mean that there will be people interested in
buying.

And Microsoft being involved isn't necessarily significant - not even
Microsoft get it right every time.


Just imho

Hi,

We debated what we'd like to see in future version of Delphi from time
to time. It seems that the recent announcement of NVidia and Microsoft
("Project Denver") as outlined here for example:

http://www.fiercecio.com/techwatch/story/nvidia-guns-desktop-server-market/2
011-01-07

would indicate that Embarcadero has no choice but to adopt the Delphi
compiler for different target architectures (at least to include ARM).

Thoughts?

Jan
