I think pricing is something Borland should look at. Visual Studio 6 Enterprise is only $4470 with Pro at $2979. While I would never cross over to the dark side, surely competitive pricing is in order. Not to mention loyalty to customers, we have bought every version of Delphi since version 1.

As I said, the prices have gone up, and the NZ doller has dropped quite a bit since delphi 5 was released. (which was, what, nearly 2 years ago now?) Just based on the exchange rate (41c/$US), this would be around 2730$ US, which would have been 4964$NZ @ 55c/$US or 5460@ 50c/$US. (vrs 6660 it
