We've taken the same approach.  For us, moving to BDS2006 looks like 
quite a large task, and possibly no real benefit.

So we've been given some time to investigate porting the back-end code 
to VC8 managed dlls and building managed C++ interfaces on to the main 
objects and we can do a C# interface for it.  Most of our back-end code 
compiles pretty much straight away in VC80 so that part isn't too hard, 
the C# UI will take longer, but we are planning a UI redesign and 
re-write soon anyway so it seems like the perfect opportunity.  A shame 
for Borland, but so far am impressed with VC80 and how easy it is to 
interface from C# in to standard C++ code compiled as a manged DLL.

Cheers
