Delphi 2007 is in the House

This week I installed delphi 2007 on my work computer. Some initial comments:

Man, the difference in loading is light speed compared to 2006.

Hey ... The help actually works!!

DelForExp, the "in IDE" source code formatter that I use, doesn't work in 2007 yet, despite the statement that it does on the website. It jams up everything with non-ending errors. Bummer, I'll have to wait for that to be fixed. GExperts seems to work fine though.

Why oh why has CodeGear gone away from offering example code in its help screens? This applies to Delphi 2006 as well, but as you will know, its help, well.. didn't.

Overall impression: Its fast, it works, its a must have update. Sad to say, Delphi 2005 and 2006 did not qualify for the "must have update" statement. So if you are still working away with the tried and true, trusty old Delphi 7 - now's the time to upgrade and boost your productivity folks.

Back to work Steve.
