Hi We use Delphi 2007 (from D6 !) and it is a major improvement (help asside). The only thing that bugs me are that we were 'sold' on it that one of the new features were automatic software updates and that there would be many small updates applied to fix any issues. This was NOT true. The system requires you to check for updates (I think there was 1 software update and 2-3 help file updates). There were a number of issues we reported, mainly a memory leak, that was never fixed. We are keen to upgrade to D2010 but would only do so if we had any idea the memory leak was fixed and any new bugs would be fixed. (and if our 3rd party plugins can get with Unicode). It seems like the 'old' system where bugs were fixed in old versions even after new versions were released is well gone. The new system is something like release, issue fixes after 3-6mths. Stop working on fixes and devote all resources to next release. While I understand this it would be nice if some fixes could be back ported. Rob Leigh Wanstead wrote: I agree what you said. I think upgrade policy should apply to Delphi 7 which I own a professional license :-) I paid out of my own pocket which is hard earned money.Frankly speaking, anyone found any version more advanced than Delphi 7 for programming?

I was pleased to note that they did provide I think 12 patches for 2006 but then it was suddenly - not interested in bug fix, buy the next version. I am not as fond of 2006 as was for D7 but I would like some assurance that the upgrade really is an upgrade not a pack of me-too buggy features. So what do people think of 2009? Really an upgrade? Would anyone really want to do C# in RAD Studio when you also have VS on your computer? Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
