Why Delphi 8 pricing should be announced now.2003-10-16 10:08:58 PM off-topic15 I noticed that there is a possibility that Delphi 8 will be available, but pricing is not firm. How am I to calculate a check amount when the pricing is not fixed? Our company would like to make a sizable purchase, but we will not be doing so on credit cards. We try to cut checks for the firm software and leave room on the credit cards for the 'show only' deals. Part of the rational to attend BorCon is based on the ability to purchase discount software from Borland. If Borland is not facilitating a workable path to purchase products, I would guess that my employer will loose motivation to send developers to the conference. I would define a 'reasonable' path as agreeing to honor Delphi 7 prices for Delphi 8, or give us the prices now if Delphi 8 will be available, or automatically upgrade our conference purchases of D7 to D8. By firming up a price for the Delphi product and making that known now, gives us time to submit check requests in time for the conference. The one thing I do know at this time, that the reasonable path is not visible at this time, and that concerns my employer. |
