>Yeah I've been thinking that it is probably wise to not be invested in only MS developer products. Delphi looks good from what I've seen and heard and Java probably could not hurt either.

Delphi, and its new sibling, Klyx, are excellent tools. Klyx is the cross-platform version. I used to code a lot in Pascal, but Klyx apparently can do Java and C as well. So many tool, so much fun!
