Hi Max,
was answered in the last BDN Radio Broadcast. Don't remember the answer
exactly, so I am not gonna say anything and just refer you there. Hope
that will suffice.

When Delphi takes a savage revenue hit from a directly competing OSS
product.

I asked that question on the BDN broadcast. Danny Thorpe said a
roadmap is complete but hasn't been released yet because of some
on-going negotiations. (Don't remember his exact phrase).
The DRM should be released in the near future.

Quite possibly good news as well. Looking foward for the roadmap.

Will VS 2005 (and perhaps Chrome) do?

VS and Pascal derivative language alternatives to Delphi have been
around for as long as Delphi has. Highly unlikely that the parameters
for VS are going to change it much.
Delphi's success is in Borland's hands, no others. If we succeed to
make a high quality product with compelling features, Delphi will
continue to thrive. If we don't, Delphi won't.
When people are happy with the products they use, they very rarely
switch from them, and it takes a huge amount of convincing for them to
switch.

That would be "directly competing" only if you write command-line
shareware in your spare time. And probably about as Open Source as any
other Microsoft product.

VS 2005 has pretty much convinced me to switch from Delphi. (I might be a
special case because I don't have a significant code base to maintain.) Much
better than anything I have seen coming out of Borland.

It's your own choice, of course. IMO, that is quite a premature
decision, since you're evaluating a BETA PREVIEW product against a
RELEASED product.
You would do better to evaluate it against the next Delphi release. I
understand the difficulty of doing this when Borland doesn't provide
previews and MS does. But they're still a bit behind us in many of the
important areas of application development, fortunately. (For Borland
and our customers.)

Can you address those area?
For me, I tried D2005 (Released one) and VS 2000/2005B2 and I think they are more stable than Delphi.
Waht I will do with these fetures if the product not stable.
For example dataadapter.Update(dataset) causing an excption when run in my machine. Borland say there is a bug, but until now it is not being fixed. Imagine telling your customers you cab browse the data but you cant't update them!!!!!.
