Avalanche of C++ news - C++11, Win 64-bit, iOS and Android
A huge C++ roadmap update was posted today by John Thomas, director of RAD product management.
We’ve been working on this "under wraps" for quite some time, so it’s really great to let it out into the wild. The team has been hard at work on the new C++ toolchain and now can answer questions and post more info on what they’ve been working on. Certainly many more details to come. Beta 1 and 2 are complete and beta 3 should be arriving in the weeks ahead.
Along with this news there is brand new promotion where C++ users save an additional 20% on C++Builder new and upgrade licenses when purchased with maintenance - and with maintenance developers get 1yr updates and upgrades free, support, and also priority access to the beta.
It’s a great time to be a C++ developer.

It would be better if Linux is supported at least a command line version , But Android support really ROXs

As talks are mainly about 64 bit, will 32 bit development disappear?

Given the recent controversial about XP support of VC2012, I think you should talk about targeting Windows XP as a main feature

I hope for few years to have a Linux Support on C++ Builder, as it’s now easier to have industrial customer open to this kind of solution, but it’s seems I’ve to look on the QT side to meet my need. It’s not so good than C++ Builder but it works on linux.
Probably it will append one day, but today’s trends seems to be more on mobile apps than on linux.
However, thanks to continue to support C++

Embarcadero, and before that, CodeGear/Borland, has a long sensible history of keeping support for everything that they can reasonably keep support for. Heck, the RAD product line continued to produce executables that worked on good-old Windows 95 until the Delphi 2009 release, when adding Unicode support meant that Delphi 2009 executables would run best on Windows NT-based operating systems like Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Adding 64 bit doesn’t mean dropping 32 bit, and there’s no reason to believe 32 bit will disappear until a suitably long time from now, when nobody uses it anymore.
