I agree with you, but see it's all about making money -- there are few people programming because they love too, most do it for the big bucks... you can see it in almost all projects bad code, bad management, etc. it makes me sick.
The only reason I've started programming is because I love to find solutions for problems and to speed up processes which would take too much time to be done on paper or using a calculator or by other means.

delphi is a great tool. it's just in wrong hands. the terrible marketing strategy is killing it.

delphi Xe is more like a major update for 2010. it should be free or at low price. customers will end up buying more 2010 because they can see it's constantly supported.

Hi Dorin,

thanks for clarifying my question concerning "Delphi Distiller". I am using paid licenses, but a tool like Delphi Distiller helps keeping the activation count in check as I have to reinstall systems often.

Concerning updates to "Delphi Distiller": I found this post
(http://www.delphifans.com/InfoView/Article_6507.html)
which indicates that there will be no new versions.

Regards,
John

Hello, Delphi Distiller IS NOT, I repeat NOT my tool, someone else created it and I JUST POSTED A LINK TO IT.
Even tho you can use Delphi without a legal license(let's say to give Delphi a test in full version) I STRONGLY recommend buying a license for the version you are using -- if we don't buy license for Delphi, in time, they will eventually kill or sell Delphi to a different company, PLEASE DO BUY DELPHI LICENSES.

Hi Dorin,

does this mean that there won't be an updated version of "Delphi Distiller" that supports Delphi XE?

Would be a shame, as your tool is excellent.

John

I'm glad you're sharing the same opinion Jon.
My opinion is that if you invest some money in a product, no matter the type, buy the best you can afford — don't think you'll save money by buying a product which is cheaper(i.e. $ 50-200 cheaper) in the end it's just not worthing. I had very bad experiences with Gigabyte, AMD and ATI products 5-6 years ago...

Most single developers, myself included, are reluctant to spend that kind of money on a tool. When I ran my company I had no problems ordering Delphi, because tools req. for a bussiness are more or less tax-deductable. But as a single developer working on projects I would not spend that kind of money on Delphi unless i absolutely had to. I would probably do just like you and upgrade my hardware rather than my software base. In fact, im planning a hardware upgrade soon. I'm sticking with dell because of their excellent support plan and stability (I've had a dell machine running here almost 24/4 for 5 years with hardly a reboot). I bet I can find Delphi XE on ebay for half the price in 2 months with a license transfere.
