jkaster: PeterNort: "Can we expect Class Operators in *classes* for Win32 too in the future?" - nick: Class Operators are kind of "un-Delphi-ish". They're more conducive on the .NET side with garbage collection.

jkaster: MarcoZ: "Do you have any numbers based on feedback or the like, that show you how wide-spread VCL .NET actually is?" - nick: we do have information on that, but we really can't share it

jkaster: aikimark: "how about some Select Case structure equivalent to ease migration?" - nick: it's on the list, but it never seems to rise up above the line. john: you can vote on the feature requests in QC

jkaster: lbg: "That about the newsserver? Will it just be renamed Or will there be an clean up :-)" - john: newsgroups will be migrated and on the new domain

jkaster: bwhite: "Can Turbo create components? i.e. is the wizard there?" - nick: general guideline is this: look at what BDS Pro does, and that's what Turbo does. But the Turbo Explorer doesn't allow you to install package. for design-time use.

jkaster: aikimark: "the realtime transcription of the livechat log doesn't work" - yes, on my todo list. thanks.

jkaster: PeterNort: ""Extending the case ... of statement" http://qc.borland.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=19775" - thanks peter

jkaster: Ronald: "can you say anything about win32 unicode support in highlander?" - nick: this is a very difficult issue for us. I am acutely aware of the need for many of our customers to get Win32 Unicode support. On the other hand, doing Win32 Unicode VCL the right way is a non-trivial task.

jkaster: MSANGALI: "Do you have plans for out-of-the-box AJAX components for ASP.NET in next versions of BDS?" - nick: we will support ASP.NET 2.0 in Highlander, and as a result, we should support the Atlas project from MS, and those ASP.NET components. john: Steve Trefethen has blogged about doing AJAX in the current release.
