I'm getting a little confused here. Since Delphi (should have be called
Visual Pascal?) runs on Windows, why would everyone have to remove windows?
What I ment was that having a UI for windows (Delphi, for todays WinPCs)
that has a corresponding sister product (Kylix for Linux) you could easily
provide a UI for both platforms. You know, broader market base and all
that stuff.
I hate it when I have to think! Confuses me to much...:>)
