[DUG] Developers not upgrading

[Vikas...]

Hell i agree to all

Well i started my career in Delphi 7 then moved to 6 then now 5. Its funny
but my company thinks delphi 5 has all the feature. And we are mainly
developing windows application. And the main problem is for webbased people
are really not inetrsted in inveting in delphi higher version which supports
dotnet frameworks.rather they go to C#

So in my case dont think i have scope to upgrade to Delphi 2007:(
By the way anyone tried the intraweb feature in delphi latest version. Since
i am new to this particual functionalty?
regards

Vik
