Steve,
Delphi Prism is based on the RemObjects Oxygene compiler (formerly Chrome), which was out some 3 years ago.
I've personnaly used the Chrome (then Oxygene) compilers for about 2 years, developping applications for ASP.NET, WPF and Silverlight, and found that it is a mature product, that follows new trends fast (i.e. Silverlight 2 Beta 1 support one day after the version was out from Microsoft, support for the parallel extensions, …).
In addition, the new language features are great and simplifies programming.
Finally, when a bug is found, the corrections often comes fastly.
So all the contrary to what my previous experiences with Borland were.
Patrick.

Is it going to be something unmistakeably first class or somewhat second class? Why call it Prism, that's not a good start. Surely it's Object Pascal for .Net? I don't want to get into .Net anyway, I'd rather go the other way, but this potentially might have some sway. I don't feel any urge to follow it any further at present, but if people say it's great, who knows? I'll be interested to hear how it works, whether it's solid and reliable or not.

I think I agree that 30 days should be the minimum.
