<DIV></DIV>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 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 width=420 align=center border=0>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD vAlign=top>
<LI>All software upgrades for one year
<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><BR><BR><PRE class=moz-signature cols="72">Rob Martin
