My big questions are:
1. Will Turbo Delphi Pro compile D7 and earlier code? From what
Borland says - probably. Has anyone tried any existing big programs in
Turbo Pro yet?
2. Will installing any of the Turbo compilers interfere with BDS?
I haven't found the answer to that one yet and I don't want to reformat
and reload if the worst case appears and Turbo takes down my D7 system.
3. Do the Turbo systems connect to SQL Server? So far, I don't
know. Has anyone tried?
As for any Delphi being slow - try doing 100+ compile/load/debug
cycles in Visual Studio and do the same thing in D7 or earlier - Delphi
is 10 to 20 times faster overall. I haven't worked with Delphi for NET,
but if it as slow as VS, it is probably due to the HUGE code bloat and
inefficiencies of NET itself.
Yeah, I'd rather see a Pro for $50 or a time-limited sample of
the system like Microsoft does for VS. Explorer won't fit my needs, so
there is little point in trying it. So, I guess I'll keep watching the
Net for answers to my questions or just back up everything and go for
broke.
Personally, I hope Borland keeps on going. I've been a Borland
fan since Turbo Pascal 1. But, the past year has forced me to try
Visual Studio, and while it has some good points, I find it far less
productive overall, in spite of all the bells and whistles. If I must
continue my work using Microsoft products, I may go back to being a
hardware store clerk. Too big, too clumsy, too much stuff in the way I
just don't have any use for. TOO MUCH TROUBLE all in all. Good luck
Borland!
