Lots of things that are Windows specific it what stops it. EMB can't<br>
change or remove those Windows features because that will break<br>
thousands of existing Delphi programs. So what was EMB left with -<br>
they had to start something new, with no legacy code to worry about.<br>
That is what there cross-platform toolkit is built on.<br>

He already done all cross-platform stuff and his library was already fpc-compatible. You can see the screenshots at <a href="http://ksdev.blogspot.com/">http://ksdev.blogspot.com/</a>, unfortunately all the demos were closed, but I guess we will see many similarities when the actual XE2 will appear. <br>
