are not available in Win32 development? You have to decide which meets
your needs now and in the future. I see .Net growing and Win32
shrinking. You have do do what is right for you. For me, right now,
both are equally important in my develoment efforts. I like to keep my
toolbox packed with quality tools.

And I wonder what you mean with "don't run the same speed". IMO, most
components are not very speed dependent, so I really wonder what you
mean.

done, although I believe it is only supported in VS.Net 2003
I pretty much agree with most of the rest of what you said. I do
contend, however, that I do beleive that MS will indeed provide API's
at some point only through managed classes. Also, while you are right
about the roadmap regarding Winforms, I do believe that they will run
under Avalon just as Win32 code can with .Net and Avalon will just be
the next big thing from MS and we will get yet more tools, and have to
educate ourselves yet again to stay on the edge. Isnt't that the way
it has always been?

just the loading speed.
Otherwise the borland blog saying remove unnecessary packages would
seem an odd thing to say :)

And that has nothing to do with the speed of the generated executables.

It doesn't matter how many components you add to your palette, the
speed of the generated executable is not changed. I think you agree
with that.
Also, the speed of the IDE (not the startup time, i.e. initialization)
is not affected by the number of installed components either.

and pieces, but mainly it is the new API to the OS). Microsoft can do
what they like. They have invested way too much time and money for them
to change their mind (I know that there is over 3.5 million lines of C#
code in SQL Server, for instance). Are you suggesting that the current
Windows API is well-designed, and we should live with that? I don't
think so :-)
I've used .NET for real world applications that are out there and in
use, and I can tell you that it is quite a nice way to write PC and
web-based software as well. Delphi people will find it very familiar, in
fact.

Having said that, I do like the .NET framework and think it will survive.
