With many people still stuck with Delphi < 2007, and still not able to upgrade do D2010 specially due to Unicode changes, why Embarcadero is changing its upgrade policy, not allowing those people to buy new versios with upgrade prices starting in Jan/2010? To me, sound as a good way to incentive those people to stay stuck in the past, or maybe change to another language/IDE. Delphi is already very expensive, and you are not making the life of freelancers and small developers any easier doing this. Also, remember that moving from one version to another usually means spending a lot of money, not only with the IDE, but with all the commercial third party tools used.

Does Embarcadero plan to create one or more positions to liason with the open source community, work on open source projects and incorporate them into Rad Studio/Delphi after ensuring their robustness and level of documentation reaches a targeted threshold?

This is a great way to expand the coverage of the VCL. Delphi is lacking on a lot of enterprise features out of the box such as the ability to talk to the NT EventLog from outside a service application and exploit all it’s features, a richer service application framework that makes it easy to tie in a UI, and IOCP socket support to name a few. The Internet is a too important to rely on third party components like Indy without someone from Embarcadero ensuring it’s quality.

There must be a free/cheap Delphi version for Freeware developers and students. Why were the Turbo Delphis stopped?
When will we get a real roadmap with a time frame when we can expect the next Delphi release (with which features)?

Question:
Is there going to be a Delphi Personal Edition ?
If yes: What price? Non-commercial or commercial license?

Will Delphi allow us to compile the same project so the output (deliverables) will run on both a Windows PC or Mac?

I can not imagine not asking Michael about Personal version of Delphi.
IMHO it shoud be topic nr. 1 which even deserves a separate discussion…
