Wow! that is something!
Fun and exciting to see the familiar Pascal code in that environment.
"strict private" hm.. new reserved word(?) And a rather colorful
experience, the tools palette for example.

I guess they mean they are really private/protected - no classes even in the
same unit may see them, perhaps.
Anyway I really hate the tick border of controls - a problem if you have to
position them closely for some reason, and the form embedded into a page
within the editor, so one can not see his form and code in the same time, and
one always has to switch. One of the worst feature of VB(Visual Basic) (and JBuilder) that
looks is here to stay. I guess it is the price for having "form code" into
the "unit code", it is much easier to handle it if you have to switch every
time.

Wait a sec...correct me if I am wrong, but if this is based on the same IDE
that C#Builder is using there is an option to have the windows
free-floating...I think.

AFAIK, it is based on the same IDE core.

If it isn't then they've sure made a very clever imitation. :)

Looks a lot like C#B, indeed.

Any Kraftwerk is OK by me.

Now that you mention the heart beat, I was expecting to hear some kind of
"flat-line" tone when the screen went blank.
"OMG!!! No more Delphi preview???? This cannot be!!! I..."
eeeeeeeeeee......
"Clear!!!!"

I've heard that going forward there will be two IDE cores. The
C#Builder/D4DN core, and the JBuilder/C++BuilderX core.

Glad you like it.
On another topic, do you use a newsreader that ignores follow-up
settings, or did you break it deliberately?
Either way, these messages belong in the netpreview newsgroup, not here.

The latter.
I thought this topic would be interesting to Delphi developers as well.

Delphi developers interested in .NET should be using the netpreview
newsgroup.
Please do not break follow-ups. I didn't take the time to set it just so
you would ignore it.
Follow-up set.

That could well be. Where have you heard that?
