[DUG] Stopped Using D2005

[Kyley Harris]

well, after months of trying and frustrating patience, I have left 
delphi 2005 and gone back to developing with Delphi 7.

1. I can almost never debug a threaded application. The entire computer 
goes into a locked up state where no mouse or keystrokes are processed 
by the computer (I have heard * read of others with the same problem)

2. The compiler doesn't always compile properly. yesterday, I removed a 
unit from a uses clause, and build all still worked, even though i had 
plenty of references to the unit. It kept working until I restarted 
delphi. Finally got the error messages.

3. The memory leaks are beyond useful. Crashes all the time. Even tried 
the FastMM patch of the Borlandmm.dll to fix the memory leaks and stuff. 
unfortunately all the workarounds came to the fore and it was no better.

4..1000 (More of the above) I wonder what the chances of a refund are? 
Out of the box, for doing what Delphi 7 did reasonably ok, this has 
failed and failed. Perhaps when using the C# or the .Net it works 
better, i don't know.

ANYONE who does not know about QC14007 in quality central should read 
it. That one bug alone is the reason why we should all get an Update 4, 
or a refund. not D2006 (unless it is update 4).
