This is as desgined.

New application created by Delphi 2007 calls 'Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True;' at the beginning of source code. Dut to the line, Cpation of Mainform appears on TaskBar instead of Title of Applicaiton.

Please see your main source code and remove the line if you want backward compatibility.
