Greetings,

Here is some more information about Kylix. I think the following information is most important.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

About components and properties. Some components won't be in Kylix, like the Decision Cube. Some properties will disappear and some new properties will be introduced. Inprise/Borland doesn't promise you a simple recompile of your current projects to run them under Linux. However, Charlie stated that for a typical project that took 6 months to build you can expect 1 month to adjust it for Kylix.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

The above justifies are actions to not make the LCL exactly like the VCL since the VCL as we know it will be going away. If you read the article you will also see that porting to Windows with Kylix will STILL require you to use Qt even in Windows.

I'd agree, but where you can you keep it the same. And if there is any mapping that needs to be done we could have some kind of conversion process that kicks in when a Delphi project is loaded.
