Yes. I guess the should, in hindsight, not have wasted any effort on
Delphi 8. They should have used those resources for maintaining Delphi
7 and releasing a better first version of Delphi 2005.

However i must say i'm currently quite happy with Delphi 7. I'm have
some trouble (internal errors, IDE crashes) every now and then, but
they rarely really hinder my work.
