Same here... We supported Borland since Delphi 4 thru Delphi 7. It was a great company and product in it's day. But now with Borland trying to compete with Microsoft in their own game (refering to .NET development) they are heading downhill. Microsoft controls .NET and will always create the best tools which also support the latest version of .NET. Also not to mention when Borland tried to sell off the development tools section and nobody wanted to buy it - it says something about the state of the company and product. CodeGear is not having much better luck either! I honestly don't think Delphi is going to be around for much longer. Borland should have targetted other platforms (like Linux) where Microsoft had no footing - they should have given Kylix a chance.... But now I'm getting a bit off topic. :) What's done is done!
