(Compared with D2007)

- Generics
- Anonymous methods / Closures
- Way faster & stable IDE
- A bunch of bugfixes (especially, as we heard, in soon-to-be-released
Update3)
- New Components (more Vista-specific components & properties compared
with D2007, other different UI components, and of course Ribbon
components with full implementation of MS Office UI guidelines)
- Middle-level VCL containers using Generics (dictionaries, hash maps,
lists, queues etc.)
- Updated & Enhanced VCL for the Web
- DBX 4 rebuilt (almost) from Scratch + DataSnap enhancements (JSON,
Custom Server Methods, .NET interoperability etc.)
- Class Explorer
- Way Better Help
- updated Easter Egg :-)

...the above list is just from the top of my head. Isn't intended to be
an exhaustive marketing paper, there are only the features which I
encountered in my day-by-day work.

HTH,
