Hi all
i currently use Delphi 7 Pro.
1) with reference to Win32 programming only (for .NET i have already
switched to VC# 2005 Express) which benefits could I get installing the new
Turbo Delphi for win32 (free edition)?
2) Are there some problems installing it, considering that i have already
VC# 2005 Express/NET 2.0 and for example in the TD "prereqs" I have read
Microsoft.NET 1.1 runtime and SDK.
3) In the free edition i know it is not allowed to install 3rd part
components in the IDE palette: is this true also for, say, self-made
components, I mean for components selfdeveloped?
thanks in advance for any suggestion/help about the above!

development, then your benefits in moving to the free edition of Turbo
Delphi/Win32 would be minimal. Any gains in moving to a more recent product
would be more than offset by the inconvenience of not being able to install
third-party components.
installed. Unfortunately, Turbo Delphi requires .NET 1.x. In my
experience, trying to install .NET 1.x when .NET 2.0 is already installed
has a good chance of screwing up your existing .NET 2.0 config.
your own components as long as you put them in the DCLUSR package.
Bottom line: from the sounds of it, you'd be better sticking with Delphi 7 Pro
unless you intend to buy Turbo Delphi Pro.

new memory manager, if you are not using FastMM, then you will feel right in
the spot
a great performance difference. Inline statements, which can also improved
performance... oh, lots of RTL functions using faster implementations thanks
to the FastCode planning.
IDE:
Wow, differences in the IDE between Visual S and the Delphi one, simply, you
will love it, first it may shock you with the toolbar location, but after
that, the code templates, the hotkeys to access the component pallete, the
syncedit, the refactoring options (lots more and more complex than Visual
S), there are lots of articles going through all this options, so just
google a bit and you will see it.
Im using BDS, having also VS 2005 installed with no problem at all.

You're now presented with three brand new hells:
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hell
- GAC hell
- MSI hell

exposing .NET assemblies via a CCW. If you are not really careful, it is way
too easy to mess up the registry.
More than one assembly version can have the same GUID.

At first I didn't understand the acronym, but then I found a whole website
about GAC hell:

just shifted the problems around. But to give them the benefit of the doubt,
I'm not sure if it is a problem that *can* be solved, regarding the nature of
the beast...
