Hi <br>
<br>
Also Just looking at the site and pricing.<br>
<br>
We would be upgrading from Delphi 6 to 2005 Professional. When I
choose the option I am told that Software Assurance has been added to
my order but can be removed (it is then not added to my order !). <br>
<br>
If I select D2005 to D2006 and it is added to my order this time. It
costs almost the same as the product itself and gives me the
following...<br>
<br>
<p>With Software Assurance you will receive: </p>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
width="420">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><li>All software upgrades for one year </li>
<li>Three phone support incidents for one year
<p>(Price based on current list price of software upgrades and
individual incidents.) </p>
</li>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br>
<br>
I assume it doesn't mean service packs and bug fixes when it says 'All
software upgrades' as these would be free anyway? If I am correct and
it is only for new releases and the Development cycle is about 18mths,
than $405 (on a $541 purchase) )is a lot of money to pay for 3 phone
support incidents within one year.<br>
<br>
Am I missing something?<br>
