Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

I seem to never get around to posting, but since I'm already here... I got the demo for Enemy Territory:Quake Wars from Steam last week. It's a FPS with vehicles in the Battlefield style. So far, I've played it for several hours, both with bots and multiplayer. Bot performance seems to be much better than Battlefield's (where it seems more like an afterthought), and the gameplay is much better. I hope (and expect) that it will be offered through Steam - I will buy it as soon as it is available. I've also played the beta of Team Fortress 2, but while it isn't bad, it seems pretty simplistic in comparison to Quake Wars...

Codegear RAD Studio 2007

I was interested in getting the latest version of Delphi, either in the form of Codegear RAD Studio 2007 or the latest update of Delphi 2007 (my latest Delphi is BDS 2006). And I would already have if I could just buy the downloadable version. The US store won't sell to Brazilian users, and the local version of BDS 2007 is 71% more expensive, while Delphi 2007 had a 40% increase. Adding to the mix the dropping of Winforms support, Visual Studio and .Net never seemed so good... :-(
