      Let's see if Embarcadero can make their stuff so it isn't complete rubbish. (I say that as someone who was an unabashed fan of Turbo C and Turbo Assembler. I've tried almost every C++ release Borland/CodeGear has churned out and my disappointment has only increased over the years. What a lost and wasted opportunity.)

      Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

        Especially as most of the Windows C++ devs have been moaning about VC++ versions since v6.

          You can't polish a turd. Actually, I'm not sure how bad this software is, but if it's anything like Star Team (shudder), then it's pretty bad.

            You can, but it has to be a really old turd that's had a chance to harden up a bit.

              "You can add gleam to a fossil" doesn't have quite the same resonance.
