at the very soonest &#8211; Delphi 2010 still represents little more than a Unicode hump, bringing too much work and too great a risk to consider. \u00a0And the 64-bit issue has been further clouded with talk of much broader cross-platform support.<\/p>\n<p>So as well as the intentions of the Delphi buying community, I &#8211; and I think many others &#8211; would appreciate a proper update to the Delphi Roadmap, so that we can be clear about where we are going.<\/p>\n<p>For the poll itself I have limited it to a single answer so I&#8217;m afraid you will have to choose the one answer that is <em>most applicable<\/em> to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">[Estimated Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt;
