Wrong...the price is in no way near the same.
I'm a C++ Builder developer and I paid ~ 400.00 for BCB 6 and HAD to pay 1200.00 for BDS2006 because at the time, you could not buy BCB alone, you had to get all the other crap with it!

Wow. Aside from the fact that you could've asked for your money back... you could've simply bought the upgrade for way cheaper. I had stand-alone Delphi and *UPGRADED* to BDS 2006 for a reasonable price.

I'm sorry that you threw money away though...

Cheers,
Kevin.
