I don't understand why everyone is complaining so bitterly. Why do you need another version of the Win32 compiler hmm?
I mean Delphi 6 works reasonably well. As evidenced by the fact that most people didn't voluntarily upgrade to Delphi 7. Why would you? It looks like a case of upgrade addiction to me. I will still use Delphi 6, which works perfectly well for my Win32 needs. I will then use Delphi.Net for my .Net needs. Who really cares about Delphi 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13.
