En las versiones anteriores se relacionaba intimamente Kylix con Delphi.
De cara a la aparici�n de la nueva versi�n 8 de Delphi, no se habla
de Kylix. �O es el ruido que hace el .NET el que no me deja oir?

Q. What is Octane?

Octane is the code name for the next release of Borland� DelphiT. Octane
will support both Microsoft� Win32� and NET Framework development with the
Delphi language and Visual Component Library (VCL) framework.

#__________________#
    A m� me dejan bastante claro que ya ni se acuerdan de la CLX y la famosa
programaci�n cross-platform.

Si esto es Delphi 8...   :-(

Hace otras 8 preguntas, con respuesta, respecto a la migraci�n con Delphi de
Win32 a .NET. y despu�s un par de preguntas de lo que yo quer�a oir.

Q. What if I plan to continue Win32 development?

There is still strong demand for Win32 development and Borland is committed
to supporting Delphi on the Win32 platform as long as there continues to be
strong demand for Win32. Therefore, Borland plans for Delphi include
supporting both Win32 and .NET. There are now over 2 million active Win32
developers between Borland� DelphiT and Borland� C++Builder�, and the
Borland commitment to this development community has not changed.

Q. What about Delphi and Linux?

Borland� Kylix is now the No. 1 IDE for native Linux development, and as
the Linux platform continues to grow, we anticipate the demand for Delphi
development on Linux to continue to grow as well.


y estas me parece que son las promesas de Borland, esperemos que sigua
cumpliendo.


.- Octane will continue to provide Visual Component Library (VCL)
.- and Component Library for Cross-platform (CLX) development for Win32�
.- as well as new features and continued framework, compiler, IDE, and
design time
enhancements.
(a partir de aqu� .NET)
.- However, the most significant new features are in the world of
.NET. Octane will include full Delphi language support for building 100%
pure .NET applications. This will include integrated visual development for
the entire .NET framework including Windows Forms, ASP.NET WebForms and Web
Services, and ADO.NET.
.- In addition, Octane will also include a pure .NET
version of the VCL framework to enable the migration of existing Win32
applications to .NET.
.- The combination of the Delphi for .NET language, VCL
for .NET framework and design time tools will enable Delphi developers to
instantly leverage all of their existing knowledge and skills and much of
their existing source code for the .NET platform. This is our commitment to
the Delphi user community

    En resumen. Que de los accesos a datos no dicen nada, quiz�s para
ocultar la ya anunciada desaparici�n del BDE. Le dan una enorme
importancia al .NET en detrimento de CLX, que era lo importante en
las versiones 6 y 7 de Delphi. Supongo que ser� devido a la
inminente aparici�n de Windows 2003 Server
(Curioso nombre: ser� a mi s�lo al que le parece m�s cercano al
Windows 2000 que al Windows XP ;-)
