[DUG] Delphi Update

[Alister Christie]

The upgrade from D2006 -> D2007 is really easy because they are 
compatible at the binary level.  I've managed to get all our ancillary 
products on Delphi XE, which I'm going to have a go at porting to XE2 
shortly.  I'm really keen to get our main product from D2007 -> XE2, but 
it has lots and lots of third party components.

I guess what I'm saying is that you should probably get off D2006 to at 
least D2007 (which should be a painless upgrade), beyond that you are 
likely to face challenges.

The new IDEs are really stable, I very rarely crash XE.  I have a 
component that I have to reinstall every time I restart the IDE, I 
should sort this out, but at this stage I've found that it's just easier 
not to close the IDE (I usually have to for windows updates/reboots but 
that is about it).
