[DUG] A change in upgrade policy coming from Embarcadero

[Steve Peacocke]

Definitely worth it.
I worked for a company that had upgraded from D77 to D2007 and for the first
time I really thought the upgrade was worth it. Admittedly I still retained
a copy of the D7 help file as the D2007 one was pretty crap (am I allowed to
say that or do I have to wash my mouth out with soap again?).
Although I'm back on my own programming platform which is still D7 (never
could afford the upgrade), I'm really missing some of the D2007
enhancements.
