Native Windows is Back to Center Stage - Delphi-PRAXiS
Summary
This was primarily driven by two ideas: one, the ability to run the same application on a desktop PC, but also a Windows phone, a gaming console and a visor technology; two, a more secure platform with limited to the underlying operating system. For Delphi and Studio there wasnt an option, but also migration from Visual C++ and .NET and C# would imply using different runtime libraries and different UI controls -- accounting for a large rewrite of an existing application. The next step was promoting the so-called "Desktop Bridge", that is, the ability for native applications to leverage more of the WinRT APIs and to be "packaged" in a light container for extra security.
