I agree. In the end, you must be crazy not to be on D2007. There are just so many worthwhile improvements.

I don't think it's as stable and I've lost a bit of work due to it crashing (bout an hours work which I was able to reproduce within about 10 minutes). I like the refactoring tools, the code templates save heaps to time (even just the automatic matching of begin/ends), the error insight helps spot errors instantly, rather than at compile time. The docked layout is heaps better (on a large screen), VCL Guidelines are really handy, and probably heaps of other stuff that I now take for granted (but would hate to live without). I think everyone running D7 should upgrade D2007 (well, D2009 shortly), the only reason not to would be if you're missing the code to some critical components, or that they are now unsupported and wont easily compile under D2007 - which was the challenging part of upgrading from D7 to D2006 for me (getting all the 3rd party components to play nice with each other). Anyway - just my opinion. Alister Christie Computers for People Attention: This communication is confidential and may be legally privileged.
