We seem to be in the grip of the same catharsis as last year... Like D4, imho, the productivity stuff is the major move. The versioning tool looks good (including to-do lists) will help team productivity - as well as the ADO stuff will make my life easier. Just the lack of code navigation

[DUG]: Using .OBJ files compiled in D4, in C++ Builder

I was on the understanding that a OBJ is a OBJ is a OBJ. Nope, and OBJ is only an OBJ when MS says it is - its 'their' 'standard', and they change it between versions of VC++ - and they dont document it either. Its about as portable as a .dcu. Maybe I should just compile the .PAS file using
