They (Borland and the "DevCo") are talking about a "free download"
version (Explorer Edition), like Microsoft's Visual Studio Express
Edition. No "Open Source" here, it's a free (gratis) as beer version,
not free (libre) as speech. They will keep only 2 versions: Explorer
and Professional (under $500). The good thing is: Turbo Delphi
probably will be back to basics: IDE only, no "Development Studio"
with dozens of tools that few actually use. These "software lifecycle"
tools will be sold by the "mother" company (Borland), at high prices,
aimed to deep pockets (i.e. big business).
Anyway, it's vapour right now, they're only feeding the hype. It's
scheduled to be available at early September, there's even a countdown
in the website.
