Question : Delphi versions

Hello experts,

I'd like to know what are the differences between Delphi 7 & 2010 Professional.
I work with D7 at the moment and wonder if it worth upgrading to 2010.

Thanks

Answer : Delphi versions

Included in RAD Studio 2010, Delphi 2010, has more than 120 new and enhanced features that help you finish projects faster and reach more users.
The What's New in Delphi 2010 provides key new features for developing applications using Delphi 2010 (and C++Builder).

Delphi 2010 allows you to create touch based user interfaces for tablet, touchpad and kiosk applications.

Some of the new and improved Delphi 2010 IDE features include: enabling/disabling code folding; source code formatting (indentation, spaces, line breaks, and capitalization); incremental search, IDE insight; thread specific breakpoints; ToolsAPI enhancements; support for multiple build languages...

Delphi 2010 complier also has new improvements: RTTI has been enhanced with atributes (language feature that allows annotating types and type members with special objects that carry additional information). Here's an example of attribute usage.

Database development also has improvements: dbExpress provides full driver and framework support for Firebird, MySQL along with MS SQL Server 2008 and Interbase 2009.

There are dozens of new units including IOUtil.pas (including wrappers for working with files, paths and directories);
