I'm not quite following. Isn't a large part of Eco going to be available in
D2006 Pro? Yes, it will be .NET only, but then again it's .NET only in
Enterprise and Architect versions, too. So they're putting Eco for .NET in
all versions, with somewhat more functionality in the higher versions. If
there were such a beast as Eco for Win32 I assume they'd do the same with
that. Am I missing something?
