Delphi 2009 adds TextHint support to edit controls, a nice feature that lets you show a grayed out text watermark. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Delphi 2009 extends this support to TComboBox on XP, normally only supported on Vista. Under the covers, they send the Windows message CB_SETCUEBANNER to the ComboBox on Vista and EM_SETCUEBANNER to the ComboBox's edit control on XP.
I've seen a few of these "minor" tweaks in this release, which suggests that CodeGear is spending some time on cleanup and improvement of smaller details and not just big ticket features.
