64 bit Delphi?
Danny and Allen were playing in the Microsoft labs last week.
Well, Danny was playing... Allen was doing surgery on his machine - probably trying to add those extra 32 bits or something... :-)

Essential Delphi 8 for .NET by Marco Cantù
Download a free chapter of the forthcoming Essential Delphi 8 for .NET by Marco Cantù. The 40-pages chapter (in PDF format) covers the new features of the Delphi language and although it is still an unfinished draft it is already quite valuable."
Thanks Marco!
The Sun is rising
"Sun Microsystems shares climbed as much as 17 percent Friday as the company reached a landmark settlement with rival Microsoft that will give Sun almost $2 billion".
"Our customers said, 'Stop the noise and start the collaboration'", McNealy said at a press conference in San Francisco. "There's nothing that would upset us if it resulted in customers buying more Sun and Microsoft products."

eWeek: Borland Brings Requirements Management 'to the Masses'
Happy April Fools!
Trust noone! Especially not someone that tells you to e-file today to claim your early-bird tax rebate. Or someone that tells you that the Swedish state run liquor stores are having a sale. Or that Linux is no longer free - oh wait, maybe that one isn't a joke... ;-)
Don't even trust me. See disclaimer.

Tips for converting VCL components to VCL for .NET
Yorai Aminov (TeamB) wrote this article on migrating VCL components to VCL for .NET.
I fished this off of Nick's blog - do you call that blog fishing? :)
"Delphi 8 for .NET is a great product, letting Delphi developers move into the .NET world while using their existing skills and re-using their existing code. Still, .NET and Win32 are two different platforms..."
