The next question should be, should I just virtualise my development
stuff, or everything (should I use the host computer for anything other
than hosting my virtual machine).
Currently I've been using VMWare for testing

D2006 - 7 was very easy as the .bpls were compatible. I still haven't
upgraded much to D2009/10 except for one half of a client server app,
which I got running on D2009, then converted it to D2010 (with a
firebird back end).

The point I am making is that as a programmer knowing only one version and
taking a big leap into the unknown -upgrading from D5 to BDS2006 it was a
lot easier than I was expecting.
A way lot easier - I don't recall any issues of any code that broke either.

I think my next development environment will be a Virtual Machine which
will allow me to experiment a bit more aggressively, I understand that
quite a few people are using VMs for this purpose these days.

if you have dual monitor.. its handy to run all your email, and web browsing
in another VM, that way you can snapshot.. and if you get any malicious
stuff just rollback and they are gone. keep the host clean.

Hi,
I have a D7 Enterprise license and consider to upgrade after all the

I pay it personally (it may be rare?). However, my work did not update

Hi Kyley
I'd be interested in the 3rd party tools you're using.
I upgraded from Delphi 5 to D2007 mainly to get database connectivity,
to MySQL and SQL Server, and to progress on from the BDE / Paradox
databases I've been using.

I too Kyley, would really like to know what 3rd party tools you

me/others how to that for ourselves.
I'm trying my darnest to arrive at a decision that will
Hi Kyley (and others),
Thanks for your information about DB connectivity. I also used ODAC before
and the VCLs are really good, fast and stable. I have a Oracle project
three years ago and customer is still using it without any problem.
And you are right, if I need to do .net, it is better off

get working with the new version.
