If they need more developers then they should hire more developers. Not rocket science, but simple management. Redundancy in this context isn't only crucial, but necessary. And don't hand be that guff that *only* Danny can do Danny's job. Balderdash! -d |

[..] QuoteI expect the vendor of my development tools to do the logical thing in use of the word "responsibility" here. I believe most customers (which are those towards which the higher responsibility comes in place) do not ask for a 64 bit compiler now. Some might, but the majority of customers have first right. That said, I understand your point of view and, if it so crucial for you, then you don't have much choice but to use VC++ for native 64 bit development. Hoping for something to come along wouldn't be a smart decision. -- Best regards, Alessandro Federici Chief Architecture Designer RemObjects Software, Inc. www.remobjects.com |

QuoteYou might compare Delphi.NET to Chrome, but that is as far as your Futhermore, what clear upgrade path are you talking about? Alessandro has said here that they have no plans to pursue the same upgrade path (native 64 bit) for which you berate Borland's indifference. Quote

Quote"Captain Jake" <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>writes the really big part of any product cycle is the testing, maintenance and support part, which can be very expensive for some types of products. I don't know how RO intends to test Chrome, but it seems to me that any rigorous regression testing and QA process of a compiler intended to be professional quality, as developers have come to expect it, would be rather expensive.
