I\u2019m choosing my words carefully, because although the CodeGear\/Embarcadero site is now showing Delphi 2009 as the current version<\/a>, if you click through to the order page it only offers a pre-order. Still, it must be done or thereabouts. US prices are as follows:<\/p>\n

Delphi 2009: Pro $874.00;  Enterprise $1974.00; Architect $3474.00<\/p>\n

C++ Builder 2009 costs the same; or you can get a bundle with both for a relatively small extra cost, eg. $1074.00 for Delphi and<\/strong> C++Builder Professional.<\/p>\n

Curiously, an upgrade to Delphi 2009 Pro only costs $374.00 (57% discount), but an upgrade to Enterprise is $1274.00 (35% discount). I can\u2019t make sense of this except on the basis that any product labelled \u201cEnterprise\u201d is presumed not price sensitive.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s not in the Pro version? The Enterprise edition adds drivers for server databases in the dbExpress database framework, the DataSnap multi-tier application framework, and a full range of modeling diagrams. Architect bundles ER\/Studio<\/a> Developer Edition, Embarcadero\u2019s database modeling tool, with support for a wide range of database servers. <\/p>\n

In other words, the majority of Delphi\u2019s features are in the Pro edition, which is really much the best value, though if you need DataSnap or client-server dbExpress then I guess you have no choice.<\/p>\n

The big features here strike me as Unicode in the Visual Component Library; and the new language features, generics and anonymous methods. I\u2019ve not yet looked at the product though, so watch this space.<\/p>\n
