Just in case anyone missed the announcement. If this comes out before Orcas then CodeGear will have two IDE's released that specifically support developing for Vista and Microsoft will have 0. Looks like things are returning back to the way they were.
Key features and capabilities provided by C++Builder include:
- Seamless support for Microsoft Windows Vista Aero, Vista Desktop and Vista APIs
- Increased ANSI C++ conformance and compatibility including Boost and Dinkumware C++ library support
- New C++ build flexibility and custom configurations powered by the Microsoft MSBuild engine
- Up to 5 times in-IDE build performance improvements over prior versions
- UML C++ source code visualization
- Integrated C++ unit testing
- New DBX 4 RAD data access with support for the latest versions of popular RDBMs including CodeGear InterBase®, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL®, Oracle®, IBM® DB2, and Sybase®
- C++ IDE enhancements including virtual folders and enhanced C++ structure pane
- New INDY 10 Internet Protocol component suite

The first version of Borland C++ that I prefered using over competing products was Turbo C++ 2006 and C++ Builder 2006. Prior versions were too buggy and C++ language conformance was awful.
I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Turbo C++ 2007 Explorer and Turbo C++ 2007 Professional because the announcement mentions changes that are important to me.
I'm impressed that Codegear is quickly doing what Borland should've been doing all along.
I hope support for Boost improves (such as ptr_container library) and they begin to consider D programming language from Digital Mars.
