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 *that* perception really squared with Malcolms own comments on the day.
That was all. And I was quite careful in my original response to that comment 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.

Well, I am now left with the impression that Malcolm was misrepresented Jolyon, you'd better be more careful in what you write on your own blog in future, what you have just written here sounds pretty lame to me, "I was commenting on the perception that I felt Malcolm conveyed, not agreeing that that perception was necessarily correct)" Are you saying that you don't agree with your own perceptions? What on earth does that mean? Get your act together man! I tried F6 Richard, all it did was highlight the address in my address bar (Google Chrome) :) Paul 2009/10/16 Richard Vowles <rich...@developers-inc.co.nz> I think, for the true story, you need to hit F6. (Hopefully my comment will be taken for the joke I think it is, albeit a lame joke, it made me laugh :-) 2009/10/16 Paul A Norman <paul.a.nor...@gmail.com> I was not at the Auckland presentation, and have had to rely on others' reporting of it. Jolyon who normally appears to be very careful in what he says and writes has said on his blog: "Malcolm Groves stood up in Auckland and openly told us that in his view, apart from 1 or 2 things, and really in *his* opinion only 1, Delphi 2010 was basically a bug fix release with lots of little tweaks here and there. They charged full price for it of course and won't be retrofitting those bug fixes to Delphi 2009 or 2007 (where they would be of most use). --- Richard Vowles, Technical Advisor Developers Inc Ltd web. http://www.developers-inc.co.nz ph. +64-9-3600231, mob. +64-275-467747, fax. +64-9-3600384 skype. rvowles, LinkedIn, Twitter _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
