Personally, I think Borland have just thrown D8 as us and said..."have fun. Hope you figure it out". Like colin said, its a big change. There is not even a prined map of the VCL or is it VCL for .NET or what ever. Its kinda cheap.
My boss said, "hey cool....um...is that IT ?! wheres the manuals?" he then went away some what dissappointed.....dont blame him !
