Surverys maybe is not the right way to do it, remember linux survey. Maybe a solution is creating a non profit company ( salaries when money comes are allowed but not company profit ) and creating a alliance with borland to promote/create Borland solution and even help them with testing/solutions, marketing and Delphi 64 bit version. best regards, Dennis Ortiz Back to top Brian Moelk Guest Posted: Tue May 18, 2004 2:56 pm    Post subject: Re: Is it time for a real 64-bit Delphi Survey?

Hint: I am suggesting that this forum isn't the best place for the survey because of its purportedly self-selecting nature... Not sure, perhaps you could try to get some Team-B support or get someone to blog about it. The problem with this kind of survey is that it really isn't "market research". The main issue is that market research isn't an exact science. Linux apparently looked good, but when it came time to signing the check, it didn't pan out as expected. IMO, neither did Kylix but I digress. I believe Borland has some options: execute better in a safe strategy (one that market research will confirm) or take a calculated risk with a less safe strategy (one that market research will not confirm). Clearly a native 64-bit compiler is a riskier strategy as dotNET will get Delphi to 64-bit, however the ultimate question is can Borland execute well enough to overcome the MS juggernaut in dotNET? I see risk as an opportunity, so my choice is a native 64-bit compiler but stripped down for server apps; I think a linux version exclusively focused for server application development would do well too but I don't think any market research will agree with me. -- Brian Moelk [email]bmoelk (AT) NObrainendeavorSPAM (DOT) FORc[/email]omME http://www.brainendeavor.com Back to top Brian Moelk Guest Posted: Tue May 18, 2004 2:58 pm    Post subject: Re: Is it time for a real 64-bit Delphi Survey?
