What new management? CodeGear was announced by the beginning of 2006 and
Delphi was sold in 2008. However I admit, I cannot give any reason for
the spike in 2004/2005. I noticed it already years ago and didn't find
any reason so far. By the fall of 2004 Delphi 2005 was release, but why
should it cause such a peak?
