Re: Sorry, but not happy with D2007

That's so old story. Get better stability, faster IDE and so on only when

'Course it's old. It's been the practice of Borland for all these
years. Mind you, they kinda hiccuped when D8 was release. New
features, D8 had, but stability wise, well...


This means if the cause of those crashes has been already found, why not
publish it in a hoftix or sthg similar? Isn't it worth to get happy
customer who get the impression that buying CodeGear products is an
investment for some years not only for months?

Not from what I've read. Dependencies have been cited as one of
the reasons why they aren't going to fix it.

I've bought Turbo Delphi Pro (Win32) some months after it got released, of
course its supposed to be a single personality release out of the BDS2006
product line which is way more older, however for me TurboD is a "new"
release which gets fixes only when BDS2006 gets fixed.

I'm glad I didn't go for the Turbos, despite the temptation. With the
further classification that the Turbos are mostly for 'new' programmers
or hobbyist or whatever, I feel quite vindicated that I made the right
decision to hold off. Unfortunately, it isn't as easy to apply to
the Delphi series, which I am quite affected.



But this has been discussed way to often for no effect here... I fear it
just repeats with D2007 which I cannot afford again in the near future.


We can only hope D2007 has a better fate than anything Borland threw
out; but of course, it will eventually be tossed out in favor of
BDS2007/D2008 etc.
