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,

IIRC, it took months of bug reports and data points,
and lots of asking here on the newsgroups for more,
before they found the problem.

If it was easy, it would have been included in sp1.
