Well I've taken the plunge and ordered the vapourware. There's no upgrade from Delphi 5 and I am a bit worried about it being able to create for WIN98 since I have 55 systems out there in the field still earning income but needing periodic upgrades to stay ahead of the competition. The 100 or so WINXP versions aren't an issue.
Hopefully they will also still support ActiveX.
