Delphi 9 (DiamondBack)!!!!! Vejam o que tem pela frente !!!!

Rumor: ´Eu espero que o Diamondback seja mais do que apenas o Delphi 7 e o Delphi 8 combinados´ Fato: Muito mais. Se fosse apenas o Dephi 7 & 8 combinados, nós chamariamos simplesmente de ´Garter Snake´ Rumor: ´Diamondback terá duas IDEs, uma para o Win32 e uma para o .NET´ Fato: Diamondback terá apenas uma IDE :o) Rumor: ´Diamondback vai incluir ECO para ASP.NET, Refactoring, e Testes automatizados de units (Unit Testing)´ Fato: Isto é apenas uma pequena parte do que ele faz... Rumor: ´Diamondback unirá o Delphi, o C++ Builder e o C# em uma única IDE´ Fato: Dois terços disto é verdade para o Diamondback. Há uma chance de tudo isto acaber acontecendo, então este é um rumor com potencial
