color:#1F497D'>Paul, I fear you took the comment out of context – it was
in response to a previously expressed view in the comments on the post in
question that there was (in the original commenters view) a perception that
Delphi 2010 was a significant release and not a “price gouge”.
I didn’t think that *<b>that</b>* perception really squared with Malcolms
own comments on the day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to indicate that I personally didn’t necessarily agree – I don’t
quite understand why you placed so much weight on it. There is plenty of far
more detailed information about what Delphi 2010 actually contains available
from numerous sources. It is of course up to each individual to determine
how relevant that release is to them, irrespective of what perceptions I or
anyone else may have felt might have been taken away from that fateful day in
Auckland.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

course and won’t be retrofitting those bug fixes to Delphi 2009 or 2007
