But what about all the times I've started a compile using VC++ only to come back to the machine (it compiles much slower than BCB) to have it either locked up or rebooted. Or all the fatal exceptions VB has. (VB6 in initial release was crap, and like INPR, they had to put out a patch quickly.)

And when I've called MSFT describing the problems you get the same run around... fully document it and send it in and the attitude 'Nothing we can do about it'. Which is hard to do when the machine dies.

I've been using Delphi since V1 and have never had to call support. I've found a few compiler bugs, but that happens. And I'm not a screen scraper, I only write components and spend a lot of time using the WINAPI and/or writing new or inheriting from existing classes. Since the D4 patch it has been nothing but awesome.

BCB4 will be the same.

Me thinks some people protest too much.
