Delphi 2007 update plan

From the newsgroups:

Hi guys.
Have Codegear a plan to lauch a new update for Delphi and Delphi.NET 2007 ? It´s absurd that your clients need to buy a D2009 and Prism to corret problems of a older version, right? We have HUGE problems with 2007 IDE ... more on .NET . Problems with generics thats disappears, IDE hangs after code completion in a generic object, big memory usage , slow switch beetwen design and source code ...


TeamB replies:

Now that 2009 has been officially released, I doubt 2007 wil get any more updates.

Why? That is how most software vendors work. Once a new version is released, older versions are no longer maintained, unless they use different architectures that have to continue being maintained in parallel.

Customer reply:It seems incredibly unfair of CodeGear to say "Thanks for the money, but no more bug-fixes for you."

LOL
