I'm sorry but don't these 2 statements contradict themselves. They
weren't doing anything because they didn't have the resources but they
have been doing things for quite some time. Huh??

An if they were already so fire sure about it and had been looking into
it for some time how come they are only putting out a survey now to
ascertain interest?

And if they had been doing research all along wouldn't they know that
there was interest? Yet they put the survey on a machine that was
already 70% busy and 2 hours after the announcement it bogged down to
nothing.

I don't know I'm still not convinced that this is totally real yet.

Since a great deal of Delphi programming uses Paradox I guess we can
assume that it will NOT be able to directly port Windows apps.
Interesting.
