Quotezedd <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>writes: They just depend on upgrades from current users. I used the Standard version from 1 to 3 before I switched to the Professional version since the standard version had everything I needed to develop my shareware educational programs. I think Borland would lose money if they brought back a 100 dollar Standard version because too many will find it satisfactory. Giving a free limited free personal edition to learn with and try out, and then stripping their pockets, bank acounts, and stock portfolios bare to pay for the outrageously priced version, seems to be good market strategy. Hope this helps! |

QuoteLook how many <cough> They dont really need pro since all they use it for is some DTP, occasional programming in pascal, C and VB and of course games. I guess that this is typical. |
