That would be fine if Borland had a time machine to go 6 months into
the future so they could include hotfix 5 in the first release.

Of course, MS might have used the same time machine to fix things like
security vulnerabilities in Windows at the time they release it, rather
than sometime in the future.. and so on for every other software
company that issues updates.

This is, in my view, a completely different matter. I am, here, talking
about hotfix #5, nothing else. Borland knew from day 1 that displaying forms
within the IDE can takes some time (how could they not?!), so they must have
known (or at least guessed) that quite a few people would have complained
about it and should, therefore, have dealt with that issue straight away,
rather than wait 1.5 years.
