Hello all. This might be a bit Off Topic. However, since Francois mentioned D2007, I hope you don't mind if I ask a more specific question regarding D2007.
You mentioned that it is "fast and reliable product". I was wondering if it is any better regarding resource usage than D2006? Specifically, regarding loading multiple instances / apps at a time for debugging dependant applications? Often, it is necessary for me to debug more than one Delphi app at a time, sometimes even 3 or more (server, client, broker, admin tools, etc). With older Delphis (D6, etc) this was NEVER a problem. But, D2006 is SO HORRIBLE regarding resource utilization, that I can't load more than 2 apps. On trying to load a third instance of D2006, it fails with numerous errors and just dies loading Delphi. Ugggh! And, annoyingly, I have a pretty beasty machine, more than I ever had with Delphi before for sure. I LOVE Delphi AND BORLAND, but D2006 is the most dissappointing and worst quality product that I have ever got from Borland. While it had some great new productivity features, it is full of so many bugs, including MAJOR memory leaks, that have yet to be fixed and that are so bad I sometimes have to reload Delphi 2006 several times a day or my machine comes to a grinding halt. If I am so bold as to try and load TWO instances of D2006, the problems appear to be more frequent. I am really shocked. I have never seen Borland put out a product this bad before, at least as regards quality. And QC is full of issues like that, but with no response or anticipated fix date. It has made me leery to try another product from them for a while. So, have you found that it can actually load more than 2 apps / instances at a time without dying? I would appreciate any feedback on this, because if it is better in this regard, it will be much easier for me to justify my company spending more money on yet another Delphi IDE. :) Thanks much...
