How does one unbundle something that wasn't even bundled yet?
By publishing an open letter completely reversing their previous stated

2) Is it true that the first Delphi.NET does not support Win32 at all,
or does it just not contain any Win32 specific updates over D7?
I think it is easy to answer that: Delphi for .NET compiles to IL code,

so how should it support Win32? Oh, it will be able to call Win32 APIs
via interop/marshalling, of course.

Oh, but he simply meant that he found one answer: forget Delphi. Simple

trolling, not much more, it seems to me.

The answer already provided by Anders O. is abundantly clear, thank you.
