Delphi upgrade from RAD Studio to Delphi XE

问题

We are thinking of upgrading from Rad Studio 2007 to Delphi XE and need to convince the boss that the cost is justified. I would appreciate comments that could help me answer the question: "What does Delphi XE bring to the table that makes it worth while to upgrade?"

Regards, Pieter
