tell you that you shouldn't be concerned about the lag in Delphi's support for
.NET versions, but a lot of people in the .NET community are saying that calling
the next version of the .NET framework version 3.0 is way too confusing (and
probably just marketing spin), since it's more of a package of extra components,
rather than new language/compiler enhancements.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=828415418-12112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I get mail form the
NZ .NET group and there are guys on there talking about .NET 3.0, and as far as
I can tell, D2007 is only going to support .Net 2.0 which makes me kind of
concerned.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=828415418-12112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are looking at
updateing to D2006 with the Software Assurance so we get D2007, but as much as i
LOVE Delphi, its kinda concerning that Borland are a .NET version behind now,
and it looks as if it will stay that way.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=828415418-12112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this just a
