I have a suggestion that IMHO would be in the best interest of CG and users:

CG should offer, for a limited time, the ability for any user of any product to purchase Software Assurance at the currently published SA prices. Effectively an upgrade to current version (from any previous version) and SA in one attractive price.

This would address the following biggest concerns:

a. D2007 cost is too high, on it’s own.

b. CG deservses compensation for the new features (after all - we collectively asked for these - now).

c. Most improtant - get the masses to begin using D2007!!!

If I understand correctly, to get SA I have to buy/upgrade to the latest version and then additionally buy SA. Make SA more like an upgrade… after all it would appear that CG would like us all to have SA… so promote it.

This would result in a more reasonable price to attain D2007 especialy because it will include anything else you decide to pump out in the next year. I for one would be less concerned about what you’re plans are for the next year (aka roadmap), from a budgeting point of view. In fact, I would likely re-subsribe to SA indefeintaly… (providing you don’t drastically alter the current proce point) since this allows both sides to budget.

PS I don’t mean to sound so negative… I am a big fan of Delphi and want to see it revivied in a big way (the potential is there)!

It is on the list of things we need to do. Unicode database support is now included in DataBase Express (DBX) 4 for SQL databases that provide unicode support.

Unicode support for Delphi / VCL is on the list of to do(s).

There is an upgrade path for Turbo Delphi 2006 Pro customers it is to upgrade to Delphi 2007 for Win32 Professional :)
