Hi <br>
<br>
We use Delphi 2007 (from D6 !) and it is a major improvement (help
asside). The only thing that bugs me are that we were 'sold' on it
that one of the new features were automatic software updates and that
there would be many small updates applied to fix any issues. This was
NOT true. The system requires you to check for updates (I think there
was 1 software update and 2-3 help file updates). There were a number
of issues we reported, mainly a memory leak, that was never fixed. We
are keen to upgrade to D2010 but would only do so if we had any idea
the memory leak was fixed and any new bugs would be fixed. (and if
our 3rd party plugins can get with Unicode).<br>
<br>
It seems like the 'old' system where bugs were fixed in old versions
even after new versions were released is well gone. The new system is
something like release, issue fixes after 3-6mths. Stop working on
fixes and devote all resources to next release. While I understand
this it would be nice if some fixes could be back ported.<br>

<pre wrap="">I agree what you said.
I think upgrade policy should apply to Delphi 7 which I own a professional license :-) I paid out of my own pocket which is hard earned money.
Frankly speaking, anyone found any version more advanced than Delphi 7 for programming?
Have a nice day

The "upgrades" which brought significantly reduced stability and useless
help systems have sort of reduced my appetite for upgrades. I was
pleased to note that they did provide I think 12 patches for 2006 but
then it was suddenly - not interested in bug fix, buy the next version.
I am not as fond of 2006 as was for D7 but I would like some assurance
that the upgrade really is an upgrade not a pack of me-too buggy features.
So what do people think of 2009? Really an upgrade? Would anyone really
want to do C# in RAD Studio when you also have VS on your computer?
