2 things regarding the pricing.
This is a great question. Yes, we will address the needs of the
commercial/vertical developer.

I'd like to see RB Pro include a version of REAL SQL Server which
would only run for a limited time per launch (but not expire like a
demo). This way developers (who've already paid for Pro) wouldn't
have to buy a server license just for testing. I believe this would
be encouraging developers to sell Server on their behalf.
* REAL SQL Server is licensed on a "per server" basis. Prices start at
$500 and include one year of updates.

Whilst I don't think this is outlandish, it does propose some
difficulties for smaller apps. Say I produce a real (no pun intended)
slick contact manager with the built in db. It sells for $29.95.
Small businesses might buy it but as soon as they want to add just
one more user the price jumps to $559.90. That's a fair leap. Perhaps
Lynn could tell us what Valentina would cost in the same situation -
I still find their licensing confusing.
