- Optimizeit
(all the XXX Builder are only swiftly mentionned in passing)

Partnerships:

   (very upbeat tone)

Did anyone spot what's not even mentionned?

Apparently Nick's alarm bells haven't reached down yet...

AMOF the only commercial mention of Borland & Delphi in the same
sentence I've seen for aeons where not in Borland France mail or
advertisement, but in advertisements from our Delphi reseller (where
funnily enough, SA option is mentionned for the Pro version,
for which it's not very interesting financially, but not mentionned
for Entreprise/Architect... there still remains some explaining to do
in the internal commercial channels...).

Finally, there is a currently a "promotional pack" with 2 licenses...
but it's more expensive than buying the 2 licenses separately!!!
1x 2870 € vs 2x 1195 € for the Entreprise update, and the pack comes
with limited licenses, LOL? :(
