Just let it go, no matter how insignificant esposito's reasons are for avoiding .Net, he will continue to avoid using it. Delphi might not the optimum choice language for migrating from vb6, but it is much better than vb6 and will live on for probably quite a while as vb6 continues to die out, gotta give him that.

C++ maybe better suited for his ridiculous requirements, but again he may not be all that interested in learning c++ since he's immersed in Delphi and there's nothing that any of us can tell him or prove to him to convince him anyways.

I guess what I'm trying to say here is, granted we've all pointed out (and threw in some links here and there) why .Net isn't anywhere near as bad as esposito's saying, there's nothing anyone here can do or say to convince him anything other than what he already believes. If a program's size exceeds 5MB and therefor is way to big of a program to even think about using and he thinks his customers/clients are with him on that point, then let it be because for esposito that's how it is and at this point that's probably the only way it ever will be, of course I can't say that with any certainty but I would like to think that it's a good guess.
