8.1 if have screen set to 100% text size (96DPI) then all is OK. If
text size set to 125% (120DPI) then all is OK except for the Project options
menu, and the main Delphi options menu, both of which have the text items much
larger and the grid sizes much smaller, so that none of the options to set can
even be seen – a total fail. These menus are needed so IDE is
unusable at that resolution. So I guess the intention is to only use at
100% text size. (Not sure of the behaviour on Windows 7 or
10).</FONT></DIV>

<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>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><BR><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:

really thick or something. If I use the link you provide Russell I can order OK
and on the final shopping cart the amount is 1458.90 USD for a Delphi upgrade.
This is 10% off the standard price of 1621.00 USD. I was expecting to see
1215.75 USD which is 25% off the normal price as advertised in the promotion. I
have sent a couple of queries off so hopefully I'll get a reply from
