I have converted 2 programs over. If you have updated all your 3rd party components, and you don't do anything funny with strings then it is quite straight forward. If you do anything strange with strings, it can be a pain in the arse.
One program took about 2 hours to convert, the other took about 20.

I guess Delphi 7 is fast, I know it back to front and it handles almost everything I need, and the help system seemed to go down the toilet from D5 onwards. I keep hearing about the amount of code conversion required to move D7 projects to D2009. Really, how bad is it? Can anyone who has migrated from D7 to D2009 give a rundown on what's required.
