64-bit Support in C++ Builder

I'm looking at upgrading the Borland/Codegear/Embarcadero C++ builder suite we use for some of our code. I would like to see 64-bit support but that doesn't seem to be a feature in the 2009 edition. I swear I saw a roadmap suggesting that there would be a new release in mid-2009 which would include x64, but now that document is lost to...

The future of C++ Builder

A few years ago C++ Builder from Borland with its excellent VCL gui library and its gui designer was the best IDE for C++ development on Windows.

Should app using VCL migrate?

Is VCL dead, or does it have a future as a GUI library? As CLX ended, is there any chance for cross-platform support in future releases? I've had to do some work with legacy app that uses Borland's VCL(BCB6). Now that new features have to be implemented, it's necessary to revalue alternatives. Whether to stick with VCL or migrate to som...
