I would like to ask people who already upgraded from BCB2006 to BCB2007 to share their reasons for the upgrade and if the upgrade satisfied this reasons? Vaclav

It might be very interesting to know why people didn't upgrade. For instance boost::variant has more failed tests (4 failures for 2007, 1 failure for 2006). Eelke

I did at one time list the places where we improved, and at the same time, I listed the places where we had regressions. Most of those regressions were fixed by update 3, but a couple still remain. I really did mean to blog about it... -- David Dean (CodeGear) Lead C++ QA Engineer

This is what I would also like to do, but the fact that I upgraded to BCB2006 Enterprise from BCB6 Professional in the end of the year 2006 may be an agrument against an upgrade this year. Vaclav

For me the biggest reason is the improvements in the IDE stability and speed. Build time is _much_ faster than in BDS2006 and there is also a quite noticeable improvement in Code Insight functions - now the only one that I keep set to manual is Tooltip Symbol Insight. In addition, many day-to-day irritations from BDS are now gone and the general experience of programming is more pleasant. Another reason that is very significant for me is the fact that I like the changes I have seen in Borland/CodeGear over the past couple of years and I really want to give them some support and to demonstrate that these changes affect their bottom line. It seems that they are now both more forthcoming with their own plans for the products and more willing to listen to their customers than in the past. - Leo
