At the risk of being 'booooooooooooooed' on the UT, we are purchasing that version of Delphi for development. We have all previous versions of Delphi and if it wasn't for the time it would take to redo a business app in Delphi that took 10 years to reach maturity in Foxpro 2.6->VFP, it would be redone in Delphi too. :o( Scary, huh? I say, bring VFP into .net without losing the IDE and data speed for BUSINESS REASONS and MARKETING if nothing else...of course there is that pesky notion of being able of using .net objects in VFP which won't be a capability...oh well, it was a nice thought... :o)
