Thank you for your input. Deos this mean learning C# will be easier than learning VB or just that one might as well go with C# and forget VB, VFP etc.? Comments? And if Delphi is a good tool and Borland a company that stands behind its products and markets all its products effectively (assumption), then what would it take to sway decision makers to move towards Borlands products?
