like work-arounds are there. If it was a show stopper, then maybe
there'd be more of a case.
Although, Borland's open communication (or lack thereof) is something
that's seems lacking in this case. Hopefully this will change at DevCo.
Speaking of which, when are we finding out the new name? :)

turned full synchronization on. The only other "openness" might have
been timing of fixes or future plans. And now we're publishing
roadmaps, too.

be releasing hotfixes for BDS 2006. Wayne's quote:
years from now when a fix is made in BDS 2010 that was reported for BDS
2006. I do /not/ expect DevCo to release a hotfix for BDS 2006 in that
scenario.

Microsoft /has/ done this. Because I seriously doubt there is one.
Everyone likes to say "but Microsoft does...". And in this case, I don't
think they can say it.
Even the case that was mentioned failed to meet the criteria that "indy"
is requesting from Borland/DevCo.
 

The ExplicitTop/Right etc properties that were introduced to solve this
cause problems if you want to change anchors and layout at run-time.
Steps are quite long to describe, but if you have a look at the source
it's obvious change Anchors after controls have been programatically
moved around usin Anchors. The work around is easy too:
SaveTop := Control.Top;
Anchors := NewAchors; // change anchors, this corrupts Top
Control.Top := SaveTop; // force back to changed position
Not much of a problem, but it went unnoticed in the first releases
of ModelMaker Code Explorer for BD2006. As it is something
you dont expect to break in between versions
I think the real problem lies in the bad VCL scaling behaviour which
still is not solved imo.

Jon,
While we're stretching things ... Any hot-fix support beyond a second subsequent release would be a very unrealistic thing to expect of any company whereas hot-fixes, up to that point [IMHO] should be the norm. :)
