Delphi 7. I have logged a few QC's on this.

So have I. And they are fixed in 2006.
I still don't see what the problem is, and what this has to do with the
trial.

Thanks,

Worked for one of those. The day after I upgraded everyone in my office to
XP SP2 (we all telecommute so this wasn't easy) we received the corporate
newsletter which included a copy of the company's policy about not upgrading
to XP SP2 because they still hadn't tested it. I am pretty sure SP2 had been
out for a while at that point.

I have a 1.8Ghz P4 Inspiron 8200 laptop with 768MB RAM. On a regular
basis, I have all these running at once: Delphi 6, Delphi 2006,
StarTeam, Outlook, and SQL Server 2000. Now, I do have my SQL Server
throttled so it won't use more than 384MB. It actually runs under 5MB
working storage most of the time.
I've throttled my SQL Server back to 40MB. Seems fine for development.

Delphi isn't name for Greek god.
Neither is Oracle.

If they can not install prerequisites like .NET, then they probably will not
be able to install ANYTHING on their local PC. That is the empolyer's fault,
not the Delphi trial.

I have still not seen any buyer mentioned. Only that Borland has decided to
sell. As long as noone is buying, most people don't dare buy the product.
I'm pretty sure you've familiar with US SEC rules, which in a
nutshell, states that Borland is not allowed to reveal potential buyer
identities... hence, leading to your conclusion that there's no buyer.
www.sec.gov/interps/legal/slbcf4.txt to quote portions of it:
The Division has recognized the following as
examples of valid business purposes for a spin-off:
* allowing management of each business to focus
solely on that business;
* providing employees of each business stock-based
incentives linked solely to his or her employer;
* enhancing access to financing by allowing the
financial community to focus separately on each
business; or
* enabling the companies to do business with each
other's competitors.
In our view, there is not a valid business purpose for a
spin-off when the purpose is:
* creating a market in the spun-off securities
without providing adequate information to the
shareholders or to the trading markets;
* the creation of a public market in the shares of a
company that has minimal operations or assets; or
* the creation of a public market in the shares of a
company that is a development stage company that has no
specific business plan or whose business plan is to
engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified
company.

will the trial run ok on a 2.8Mhz Celeron laptop with 256 MB RAM?
I recommend a faster processor, than 2.8MHz. Maybe 2.8GHz would be
fine. ;o)
As for memory, 1 GB RAM for a comfortable experience.

It is understandable though. The mission critical offices in the big
Norwegian oil industry is told to be completely isolated from the
outside world, no Internet and the like. Any bug, any virus causing
downtime would mean millions of $ (not to mention millions of NOK <g>).
I was also told that employees when entering these offices were searched
from bottom to top. For guns? No. For bombs? No. For {*word*110}? No. They
were searched for diskettes and CDs!!

I still don't see what the problem is, and what this has to do with
the trial.
The one's I spotted are in Delphi 2006.
I was commenting on an earlier post: "a giant leap for the world's
developer community!"
What, broken help?

Not positive, but I believe it is from the email time.

I downloaded the trial but don't have time to install and test
it for awhile (maybe a couple of weeks).
When does the 30-day period start? On first use, or when the

Thanks.
