Quote>So what's your point? The problem I have with this is that they can do this ad infinitum. This is what I am a bit bitter about. They can release a version and take their sweet time to release an update and by the time they do, a new version will be out with the problems fixed(and more bugs introduced). I understand the need for profit, since Borland is a profit- orientated company; but when customers become embittered by this process (buy version, wait for update, (if update exists, download), if not a new version comes out, go back to step one). So to Eyal, it will certainly be a cold day in a hot place before Borland gives a flying two-way-trip about old versions. Am I irked? Yes. Do I have an endless supply of money to keep up with Borland's thirst for producing new versions every year or two? No. But what I am looking forward to is the next version which supposedly has Delphi and C++ together. Edmund |

It might be 'stable', but it certainly isn't as great as W2K. Pity M$ had to go nuts and create WinXP. Don't get me wrong. I have Win2k *and* Windows XP pro at home. So I am not speaking out of heresay, but actual experience. But, AFAICR, Win16 version of Windows *wasn't* an O/S. Was just some GUI shell on top of DOS. Of course... standard disclaimer: YMMV. |

Re: Future of Delphi 7.x - need official word from BorlandQuoteThis refers to the penchant some folks have for using 2K5 as an You say/speak/pronounce "Delphi 2000 AND 5" [= Delphi 2005] ... so D2K5 = "Delphi 2000 (2K) [and] 5". [= Delphi 2005] It's like 4U, U2, UR, U, BRB, BBL, FFS, RTFM, and alike :-) best regards Thomas |

Other software is buggy too, that is life. If you develop software, do you release bug fixes for versions that are nearly 3 years old with 2 newer versions since the original release?

Quote"Eyal" <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>skrev i melding As distrustful as I am of M$ and their {*word*108}, I accept .net as the next big thing, but personally I prefer a faster IDE. I dislike waiting on the machine to become ready to listen to me. It disrupts my rhythm and forces my primary focus away from the task at hand. Wasn't the whole point of RAD to take less time and effort with a better IDE? Didn't Borland pioneer many great innovations, beginning with clicking on error messages jumping into the code? With hardware prices continuing to fall, the cost of programmers' salaries is a major cost, and slow software aggravates this. To return to the original question, why is Borland not willing to sell Delphi 7 to those of us who prefer it? Kirk Halgren "Inventing is a combination of brains and materials.
