Might not be easy to get that out of Safenet.. >If you just want Windows/X86, why not stay with Delphi ? Have you looked at the deterioration of the Embarcadero support lately? Just try their user forum or the news mirror of it! It is offline at least half the time every day at random times. Week-ends if crashing it stays off-line until Tuesday (in Europe). And the problems started more than a year ago; when they finally came on line again they had lost all past threads and basically started out totally blank! This is a problem for more than a year now! Meanwhile they have started the money game: - Every 6 months they release a new version of their RAD Studio XE, now at XE8. I bought in on XE5 as an upgrade from RAD Studio 2007 at the end of 2013 to test multi-platform support, then I skipped XE6 but felt that I had to get up to date so I bought XE7 not even 2 months later they came out with XE8... And the upgrades are really expensive too! - The problem I feel is that as soon as they release a new version all support stops for the earlier versions. There are no longer any patches or updates coming along and all bug reports must be against the latest version. - The next problem is that they do not feel obliged to fix the bugs reported until maybe in a much later release. There are numerous threads in their forum about this where angry customers show how a serious bug has propagated for years even in face of a Quality Central report every time... So even though I have used Delphi since 1995 (D1-D2-D3-D4-D5-D7-(long time use)-BDS2006-D2007-XE5-XE7 I am now feeling weary of it all... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
