[DUG] Delphi XE2 Upgrades

[Kyley Harris]

interesting.. is the support and maintenance valid for 1 year then? meaning
you will get the next upgrade cheap only if it comes within a 1 year period?

Its always a hard call which version to move to. I'm perfectly happy with
the rad-studio 2007, but I just feel like it might be time to move forward
with the unicode compatibility issue
while I'm at the start of a new project.
