How can you tell that [CodeGear] is aiming to make this the best [Delphi] release ever? Performance, memory leaks and now flicker.

The first shot is of Delphi 2006 and the second is of Delphi 2007.

Notice how in 2006 the Active and New buttons flicker in the project manager. The same goes for the object name and type at the top of the object inspector.

In 2007, there is no flicker.
