I think we have to realise tho that although the prices are high here in NZ,
I wouldn't object to paying $3000 which is what they pay in the US. The
exchange rate does increase the price alot.
What Borland should do, which is what MS do, is keep local prices to a level
acceptable to that market, not just based on US prices.

Windows is here to stay and I don't think Borland can ever move
away from it. But I think that people at borland, responsible for
pricing, seem to ignore this and are trying to move away from
windows, by pricing Delphi so high. What are these people upto?
At this rate I only see Delphi becoming less popular and eventually
die. To make anything popular one has to sell more and Borland
are not even worried to lose their current customers, forget about
getting more customers.
