As a user of both Delphi 5 and D2007, you would have to be nuts to want to work

I agree, something with real limitations but real usefulness. A Turbo
version would be great.
Possible ideas would be
1 – Executables only run on the PC with the Turbo licence. otherwise full
version but cheap
2 – Executables have a built in expiry date of 1 year from when compiled.
