[lazarus] Has anyone else read this!!!!

I don't see how you can say that this is bad for borland until we find out what they mean by "not a port of Delphi"..." but a new product".

They could still be doing it like we are and claim that it's a new product.  
If it's supposed to be easy to port your windows apps to Linux, then the plan must be to move the code over as close as possible.   Remember, this isn't even started yet. They probably haven't even gotten everyone hired yet.

Here is something very interesting. All along I have been saying that
Lazarus might not be an exact port of Delphi due to some basic
differences in the lower level coding design. Well it appears that even
Inprises port of Delphi isn't a port of Delphi. Here is the link to the
article. http://linuxtoday.com/stories/10476.html 

They are making RAD tools for Linux but are not porting Delphi directly.
It appears that Lazarus might be more of a port then Inprises.

This is a quote.

"According to Michael Swindell, Inprise group product manager for Linux,
porting of applications developed on Delphi and CBuilder for Windows
will be simple and straightforward.

However, Kylix is not a port of Delphi and CBuilder but a new product
using entirely Linux standards and Linux components while incorporating
the best features of the Borland Windows development tools."
