Delphi 2007 for Win32 speeds Win32 development by combining Delphi's proven visual Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach for accelerated Win32 development with support for Windows Vista, AJAX, and streamlined database connectivity.In the real world developers need to be able to develop applications that run on multiple platforms, not just the latest and greatest. Most new machines come with Windows Vista, while existing machines will continue running Windows 2000 or XP. Developers must support this mixed-use environment, because they can't count on their organization or customers upgrading en masse. They have to meet the demand for critical new technologies and trends in marketplace by including support for these technologies in their applications, but they want to retain the flexibility of developing on the platform that is most productive for them.
