Hi George,
Should I just load Delphi 5 and go with it ?
If it's only for a hobby, then this is the cheapest solution of course.
Get the new Delphi XE, cost 899.00 plus 270 for maint. This seems really
high to me, I get MSDN Professional and Delphi is higher ?
Since you haven't upgraded Delphi since version 5, I wonder if
subscription (what you call maintenance) is really needed for you, so it
might be "only" 899.
Note that after the (installation and) registration of Delphi XE, you
can also get Delphi 2010, 2009, 2007 (non-Unicode) and Delphi 7 (very
much like Delphi 5) for free. So you essentially get 5 versions instead
of 1.
There are still a lot of people using Delphi 7 (the classic IDE), or
Delphi 2007 (the last non-Unicode version), so this is a very good deal
if you're coming from Delphi 5 in my view.
George
Groetjes,
