I actually bought Kylix when it came out but as mentioned I think it was ahead of the game, released at a time when linux wasn’t mainstream and not enough of a market to make it commercially viable for a developer to produce and sell apps to.

I’m excited by this prospect of x-platform especially bringing in OS X but I wonder how they will handle the GUI on each platform. The problem with a cross platform widget set is that it is often limiting and looks out of place on every platform it runs on. Will it have cocoa on os x, gnome on linux and native windows controls for win32? we’ll have to wait and see!
