I know there are other posts regarding Kylix, but most seem from some while ago and I'd like to understand the current thinking / plans at DM, if possible
Though we see great potential in the Linux theater, we must make our decisions based on business realities. Therefore, we currently have no plans to develop a Kylix version. We will certainly make an announcement if this situation changes.
Also, at this time, we haven't anounced any plans regarding .NET.

Well, it is different from my business reality. We cannot get more clients who are running their system in the strictly Linux environment. If there are no plans for Kylix, we may drop ReportBuilder and switch over to Rave or other Kylix/Windows compatible Report generators. ReportBuilder is a great product and we have dropped Rave Reports when we used ReportBuilder. We wanted to maintain a common code-base for sanity's sake and have minimum cross-platform recoding if possible. When our clients overseas pushes us far, we will switch over to Rave, even if it is not as good as ReportBuilder. We are still waiting if Rave becomes good enough for us before switching over, unless of course ReportBuilder does a Kylix version within our business time frame. That is our reality.
