Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. and .NET applications on and for Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. This allows developers to build Web, client/server and desktop Windows applications on all three platforms, and to deploy to any of the three. "CodeGear RAD Studio gives developers the flexibility to use the operating system that best suits their needs while developing for multiple Windows operating systems, including Windows Vista and the Web," said Nick Hodges, Delphi Product Manager at CodeGear. New features and capabilities include: * Enhanced Delphi support for the Microsoft Vista Aero user interface - including themed applications, Visual Component Library (programming) Visual Component Library - VCL A application framework library for Microsoft Windows and Borland Software Corp.'s Delphi and C++Builder rapid application development software. VCL was originally designed for Delphi but is now also used for C++Builder.

VCL is CodeGear's visual, component-based framework for Windows. * Delphi language support for Microsoft .NET 2.0 (compatible with .NET 3.0) and ASP.NET 2.0 development. ASP.NET is a set of technologies in the .NET framework for building Web applications and XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language.

ECO enables developers to use visual diagrams to build objects and object relationships and interaction logic, and then automatically creates and maintains the Microsoft ADO.NET database infrastructure and data-to-presentation interfaces leaving business logic and presentation layout to the developer. * Updated dbExpress 4 database architecture with support for ADO.NET 2.0. dbExpress 4 is a single-source, native Windows and managed code ADO.NET database infrastructure from CodeGear that streamlines desktop and client/server database application development and connectivity. "Just as the Windows platform, PC hardware and the Web are continually evolving, CodeGear's Delphi and C++ products are also evolving to help developers take advantage of these changes, creating new opportunities for both ISVs and client/server developers building database-driven applications," said Hodges.
