[DUG] A change in upgrade policy coming from Embarcadero

[Kyley Harris]

I dont think the Professional version of the delphi application is an
unreasonable price.. I think that if you cannot be earning enough from using
the tool.. then its the wrong language and tool anyway..
Lets imagine that Delphi was licensed in a rental type scenario.. say
$100NZD per month GST inc.. For most people thats $88 a month..
Now.. if you are earning say $1000-$4000 gross per month as a delphi
developer, which you cannot earn without the delphi tools.. is $88 or even
$100 a month worth it? I would say that if you are even earning only a part
time income of $400 per month.. $100 a month is not going to kill you if you
know that you wont get the other $300 without it.

I personally (while not advocating it) would have no problem with paying
$3.30 a day for delphi and getting all fixes and updates built in.. It would
simply mean one less coffee a day purchased..

While I can disagree heavilty with some things Richard Says. :) I dont think
we are being ripped off on the delphi pricing..
