I was wondering if anyone knows Borland's sales numbers regarding Delphi for
the last few years. Something along the lines of number of
shrinkwrapped-packages sold, by version and or edition.

This is an old article
(http://www.forbes.com/2003/11/11/cz_qh_1111borland.html) and might be old
news to everyone here. Still, I thought it made for interesting reading to
see that Fuller is looking for India and China to eventually be the largest
bloc of their sales revenue, and to expand the tool to be something that
everyone in the software-production chain can use. Like I said, old hat,
I'm sure, but interesting nonetheless.
