With Delphi 2009 literally just around the corner, I thought it would be interesting to see how it’s impending release is being viewed.<\/p>\n

As a result, the poll answers are a little wordy this week for which I apologise, but I thought it would be interesting to try and gauge a detailed view of how people view the new version and how it will impact them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last weeks results were interesting (Poll Archives are now available!<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Again, with the caveat that my sample is obviously limited to people visiting my blog, Delphi 2007 is the most widely used Delphi version, with Delphi 2006 languishing a long way behind (only half the users) Delphi 6\/7 and only slightly ahead of Delphi 4\/5.<\/p>\n
