Did it occur to either one of you that Borland just bought a company
which makes a really good VCS and might, in the spirit of eating
their own dog food, have changed over to it? Or that changing VCSs
(we just did it here) is complicated at best and back-porting changes
from one VCS and IDE system to another (remember: many of these
changes had already been implemented for D2005) is even more
interesting?
I have the feeling that you take this a little personal? Right?
For me, nothing in particular occurs at all, other than that the ideal
situation is to be able to roll back to any date, almost immediately.
I am puzzled when hearing that a company of a certain size and
importance does not have complete snapshots, let us say per major build,
of the total development environment, including tools and all settings,
all files, and so on. Making it possible to recreate the situation at
any time, like a time machine.
Versions systems based on a per file approach may end up in a mess, as
you indicate, especially when switching to another system, making the
need for snapshots even more evident.

Sorry, your messages both read as arrogant and presumptious to me.
And yours come out as if you were the dev. manager getting nagged :)

Evidence -- namely, the service pack itself, indicates that they in
fact did it.
Point is, it was not easily done, in an automated way.

But if you don't understand why it took some longer than planned to
do, then please save your laughter for things you do understand.
Please save your anger, it is a little misplaced here IMO.
