No Delphi to .NET, all to W32...  (so far anyway)  No real reason to go .NET for me.

I tend to agree, and really wouldn't even be looking at Delphi if it wasn't
for a couple others in our division using it. I'm VERY conservative when
talking about languages, language stability is my primary concern. My
primary programming environment isn't even on a PC, so I'm more likely to
stay with VB6 on the PC than anything else.
