If you wait until D2008 there will be major complaints - probably mostly
relating to the fact that it will be a breaking release (everything will
need to be recompiled), D2007 is only getting complaints because it's
new (D2008 will be the same). My experience has been that it's pretty
close to being rock solid (like John says below). Your best bet is
probably going to D2007 with software assurance - I think D2008 is due
out in the first half of next year, but Richard is the best person to
advise you here (you can pretty much trust his advice - he's way to
honest to be in business).

Scrolling back through my inbox I see lots of people complaining about
2007 though.
Perhaps I should just wait until 2008 version comes out
(mind you, being an even number usually means it will be crap, 6,8
2006 etc).
Will checkout the newsgroups.
Thanks.

I definitely wouldn't buy a turbo product. Just buy the Delphi 2007

There is not going to be a Turbo version of RAD Studio (basically
D2007 for win32 is the turbo). The newsgroups have more information,
but any future turbo products are expected to be more limited than
what the originals were.
D2007 is heaps better than D2006 and there is no way I could go back
to any older delphi version (I have to occasionally for the things I
sell) and working in those IDE's suck.
cheers,

You may have the wrong impression of D2007 - D2007 seems pretty rock
solid
in my experience, each version I have used seems better than the
previous.
Most other comments I have seen compare it to D7 - which seems to be a
particularly golden version - and many say better than D7.
Honestly the worst problem I have is some older source seems to get
some of
its tab indenting a bit jumbled somewhere in the transition. That's
different IDE tab settings I think. And I just found a nice source
reformatting tool :)

D2006 is terribly slow, and D2007 has issues to Africa it seems. Im
thinking cut down = less to go wrong + improved speed.
