Stefano,

C++ Builder 3 goes back to 1998. I just did a test with an old project, 
and Builder 2007 will automatically convert C++ Builder 3 projects. In 
my test, the project compiled and ran with no code changes, but it was a 
very simple project. You most likely will have to make some changes to 
your code, and if you have any 3rd-party components, you will need new 
versions of those, too. There are many reasons to upgrade, but you 
should expect to spend some time converting your projects.

we're headed down this path too with a big project with several third party 
controls.  we anticipate it taking weeks.  in fact we tried a couple of 
years ago to upgrade to CB6 and gave up.  We've seen reorganized the entire 
program to isolate the third party stuff as much as possible and we think 
we'll have an easier time now.

one thing that worries me though as how we will recognize things we should 
do over again rather than simply upgrade to take advantage of the new stuff. 
so, would you mind listing a few of the major advantages of CB2007 over CB3. 
I'm hoping your list might keep us from overlooking features we should be 
taking advantage of.
