I was very surprised when I found out... I had no idea that I was even being considered. I hope it is actually the truth and not some kind of cruel joke by Marco .

You deserve it Indeed. This is one well deserved award if there ever was one. Although the chances are pretty slim, I hope Borland pays you 10% of what Danny Thorpe thinks FastMM4 is worth, which would make you an instant millionaire as FastMM4, besides providing huge performance improvements in threaded environments, brings to light in the Delphi IDE, and any application build with Delphi, those impossible hard to find bugs which make or brake a product's robustness reputation. FastMM4 is a typical improvement to Delphi that no one in the old Borland management team would understand, but which we the developers and our customers dearly appreciate. It is quite promising to see that the current Delphi development team (which I understood chooses the winner) have selected Pierre as a winner. I find it a bit disappointing though that Eric Grange wasn't a co-winner. At least some of the award's honours (and of those 10%) should go his way. After all it was he who created RecyclerMM, the basis on top of which FastMM was build. As an old and long dead physicist, a certain Sir Isaac Newton, once wrote: "If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants.". Plus, Eric has given us the SamplingProfiler. Another of these great gems of which I totally utterly cannot understand why Borland lets it wither in the basm newsgroup, instead of picking it up and slamming it in the Delphi IDE as soon as it saw the light of the day. Anyone at Borland (management that is, as anyone on the Delphi development team will understand the following), if you are reading this: Forget about throwing hundreds of millions at companies who are mainly busy with filling their webpages with bla-di-bla-di-bla for PHBs trying to get bought. Spend 1% of that amount on the Pierre's, Eric's, Jordan Russel's, Tim Young's, Alex Denisov's and Mike Lischke's of this world whose webpages are generally plain ugly, but who are the superstar developers of this age creating the stuff that we, who buy Delphi, really want. Your reward will be returns on investment that are orders of magnitudes higher. Before you dispose of this idea, 'cause combining commercial business with open source developers is not standard business practise or something you learn in the Harvard MBA program, think of Kahn and Hejlsberg who didn't found Borland on standard development and marketing practices either.
