I think Borcoderoprise would be closer
Borland, CodeGear, Embarcadero and the ever favorable Inprise
Anyone else see further improvements?

MS has tools for OS/X ?!? ;)
The problem I see with their multi-platform direction is that the
platforms they are targeting are all well served by completely free
tools. Unless Embarcadero sort out their thinking w.r.t. low cost,
entry level SKU's for their software development products and shake
off their addiction to/obsession with enterprise (small "e") type
developers/customers, they simply cannot compete in those spaces.
Read "Will not" compete, rather than "cannot" - they could be
competitive if they modify their thinking around pricing, but my guess
is that they will choose not to do that, and instead expect/hope those
markets will "mature" around their ticket price, because the mindset
at Borcaderoprise is that "real, grown up software developers pay
handsomely for their tools -- everyone else is just tinkering".

I don't care much for Win64 or OS/X - but I think they are required to
make Delphi a serious competitor to MS tools. Would like mobile
platforms - Android or iOS - both of which are ARM based.
NVidia already have plenty experience
<http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra.html> with the ARM platform.

Hi,
We debated what we'd like to see in future version of Delphi from time
to 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/2011-01-07
would indicate that Embarcadero has no choice but to adopt the Delphi
compiler for different target architectures (at least to include ARM).
Thoughts?
