Where is the "buy it now" Delphi 7 link?

I need to get a another copy of Delphi 7 but I can not find the link to buy it? I did a search for "Delphi 7" on www.shop.borland.com and nothing comes up. How does Borland expect to make any money if it they make it this hard to find the items you want to purchase?

I believe there's a new version of Delphi.

I don't believe they are selling it anymore. IMO it doesn't make much

sense since it is still the most widely used version. The last two copies
we needed for our clients we ended up get on eBay.

Especially if you think that it is the last really stable Delphi version.
Oops, shouldn't have said that :)

Wow and people say Microsoft can be draconian in forcing people to

Thats staggering arrogance from Borland if true.

Here in Germany, Borland is actively marketing and selling Delphi 7 Pro and

Enterprise (download only). They offered it in the last newsletter I got on
June 3rd. And they don't intend to stop that offer anytime soon.

I wonder why they don't do that in the US. All we usually need is the

license and keys to register it.

I have no idea, and I don't know if that license includes both German and
English (as it did eg. with the CD version of D6).
