Great Joel Spolsky quote re DotNet development: that 20 MB runtime is a real showstopper. Yes, this is an advantage to Delphi. I'm starting to suspect that Microsoft doesn't care - they are perfectly happy to have a development environment that is excellent for internal/corporate applications (Custom Software), where they don't compete, but borderline useless for shipping, commercial, Shrink Wrap, where they do compete.
