<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Perhaps that will come next: iDelphi 11S Cleveland Trifle<o:p></o:p></p>
