My thoughts exactly. I shared this thought when RB went to 200x, and along with it, their new upgrade plan. I was thrashed several times, being told that I need to accept the changes in the computing world or stagnate. The problem is, we're all bending over and being ripped off and calling it 'progress' and I just cannot understand why. There is never enough time to perfect (or nearly perfect) *anything* any more, so you always get buggy software just for the sake of having something 'new' which has, in turn, become a marketing ploy. In my opinion, there should have been several more updates to 5.5 before the new IDE was ever released. If you can't get it right, why release it? Since buying my upgrade to 2005, I have not used it to code anything. I've played with it here and there, but encountered too many problems to continue for long. I don't think I will buy 2006. I think I will probably wait until 2007 is released, if they'll allow me to upgrade at the same discount as 2006 users. If not, I will probably move on. I can say that there have been quite a few features added that are intriguing, but I can't deal with RB2005 long enough to experience them thoroughly...and I'm not even a professional programmer. I can only imagine what it's like for you guys. What I've seen of the trial version of RB2006, what I'm seeing on this list, compounded with Mac going Intel and Windows going Vista, it isn't all that comforting. RB2007 will probably be what RB2005 was supposed to be. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
