Highlights: - .NET is qualified as "our application development platform", not next generation OS layer or whatever fundamental gizmo you can't do without - MS assume it won't make sense to ship 32bits servers anymore - MS quite openly admits that Intel's got trampled on the 64bits issue, the diplomatic AMD DID good work and we're sure Intel WILL do good work is a quite funny bit (hear Dell, hear) - SQL Server 2005 will have NATIVE 64bits - already 10,000 drivers converted to 64bits - they're "pretty bullish about [the industry] turning over pretty rapidly [to 64bits]" So where is Borland native 64bits strategy for Delphi?

Whether you want it in a new PC or not, you'll be spoon-fed 64-bit compatibility. Will -- Want a 64-bit Delphi compiler for AMD64 / IA-32e?

I expect it would be more along the lines of "the current schedule for the next 3 years doesn't allow for it".

Actually I sincerely doubt that. If it was useless, QC wouldn't allow it. No, what's useless is Borland leaving the report unopened despite the huge interest in it. It does, afterall, have the most votes of any report in QC for any project.

Yes, but he also said some things are in the three-year plan that he can't yet comment on. Just because you haven't heard about it doesn't necessarily mean Borland isn't looking into it.
