That's correct - Delphi and RAD Studio are now CodeGear products, and 
you should go to the www.codegear.com website for support and information.

Go to http://www.codegear.com/downloads/regusers and select your 
product, like Delphi, to get to the registered users page and download 
your updates.

As an alternative, run the "Check for Updates" utility which was 
installed with your copy of Delphi 2007 for Win32 (at least it should 
have been), to check for updates.

That's correct. When CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 was released, they decided 
to also release a new version of Delphi 2007 for Win32 and C++Builder 
for Win32, mainly with bug fixes found in Update 3 for the original 
Delphi 2007 for Win32 and C++Builder for Win32, but also with Blackfish 
SQL as well as DBX4 extensions such as more meta data support.

Nick Hodges has explained this in his Sept 14th 2007, blog post, see

I would run the "Check for Updates" tool, as this may find the December 
2007 Update as well as the February 2008 Help Update for you.

Groetjes,

PS: If you have subscription (what you may call "SA" in the US), you 
have the right for a free upgrade to R2 already, as well as Delphi 2008 
for Win32 when it's released (and stuff from me, but only in the BeNeLux 
as I can only 'resell' in that region).
