[DUG] Delphi 10 Seattle

[Jolyon Smith]

Just the typical Embarcadero approach these days... marketing over
substance.  In this case, make an offer without properly following through
on delivery.  Heck, even the regular online shop has fundamental
problems... click thru to the "Buy now" page for Seattle / Delphi 10 (DX)
and you land on the C++ Builder (CX) products page.


DX, 10, Seattle... Embarcadero can't even seem to make up their minds what
to call their own products and are just throwing everybody else's marketing
techniques into the pot.  They quietly retired the CodeGear brand, wheeled
in the "XE" brand which also now appears to have fallen by the wayside in
favour of jumping on the current "10" 'bandwagon', oh and let's throw a
place-name into the mix as well.  I'm a little surprised they didn't stick
an "i" and an "S" in there (perhaps a "C" on the "Starter" Edition for good
measure?) and also add in a confection/dessert name as well, just to cover
ALL the bases.

Perhaps that will come next:   iDelphi 11S Cleveland Trifle
