Delphi 8 for .NET almost unusable

Most of you know that I'm a Delphi advocate, but the most recent version of Delphi 8 for .NET is very buggy.

If nothing else, this lack of quality detoriates my feelings and makes it harder to believe to the future of the product.

For instance, I just installed Delphi 8 into one of my machines, started a WinForms project, and saved it. Next, I naturally tried to compile it. But this didn't work, and all I got was this error:

Access violation at address 0981C07B in module 'dcc71il.dll'. Read of address 0E628000.

Trying to compile again causes the compiler to enter an endless loop without the possibility to cancel the operation. The only way to stop is to kill Delphi using the Windows Task Manager.

Bad, very bad.
