Delphi 2006 for Win32 also incorperates a lot of the innovations nade in Delphi.Net.
.Net? Though I had suggested FPC to also implement some new Delphi language features which I think very usefull, but I agree with FPC core team that we don't need to support .Net yet.
IMO, .Net is just a bussiness buzz from M$ to attract their customers and prevent them from switching to Un*x systems. Speaking technically, I saw nothing new in the .Net technology. It's just a combination of Java (on the system architecture) and Delphi technology (on the system language), with extra resource requirements as the consequences. :p
And if we study the FPC compiler architecture, IMO it's very possible to support .Net. Adding .Net assembly generator on the FPC assembler generator layer would make FPC able to produce .Net executable. CMIIW. But, I think we don't need to do this now. :D
