I think in general the upgrade policy has been quite generous, as others say 
other companies are much worse.

Take Microsoft -  As a Vista user of 1 year I get no reduced price upgrade 
to Windows 7.  Vista is V6.0, Windows 7 internally is ictually Windows 6.1 
and could be argued is not even a new version at all - they are as similar 
as Windows 2000 (V5.0) and Windows XP (V5.1) were.

D2007 versus 7 - have to say the D2007 use of IDE screen is a lot better for 
a single screen on a laptop.  And like others I have the D7 help loaded - 
actually the D2007 help is not so bad, just slow at times.

Really one reason Borland went broke is that they made an IDE that could be 
used forever..
