>From the article... "Denver frees PCs, workstations and servers from the hegemony and inefficiency of the x86 architecture"
Hegemony... "often mistakenly used to suggest brute power or dominance, when it is better defined as emphasizing how control is achieved through consensus not force" WinTel is successful not because Microsoft forced people to buy it and use it, but because people chose it over the alternatives. Before committing resources, Embarcadero would do well to wait and see what actually develops in this space. Technology companies creating tech to be sold doesn't necessarily mean that there will be people interested in buying. And Microsoft being involved isn't necessarily significant - not even Microsoft get it right every time.

It seems that the recent announcement of NVidia and Microsoft ("Project Denver") as outlined here for example: http://www.fiercecio.com/techwatch/story/nvidia-guns-desktop-server-market/2 011-01-07 would indicate that Embarcadero has no choice but to adopt the Delphi compiler for different target architectures (at least to include ARM). Thoughts?
