<DIV>Thanks for that Nicholas, I had not read any thing definitive and have
only had the WinFX XAML stuff on board and not the full Vista beta
(what was that Longhorn?)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So I was very keen to check out how far the .NET satrategy had gone in
preparing new applications for the Vista roll out next year.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Doea any one know if there is anything we need to prepare for in Vista?
I havn't found anything Delphi specific about it so
far.<BR> </DIV>
