Are you still good with your prediction of 20% reductions?
By what time? Middle or end of 2007?

Anders, do you have enough inside information to arbitrate
this bet?
I've heard the number ~200 employees.
Which brings up the question, are we talking about overall
or just R&D?

And finally, what are the stakes?
A case of your favorite beverage? Delivered?
Or a round of drinks at the next conference?

At least 20% staff reductions at CodeGear, overall, by the middle of 2007. I
think Peter Morris has a good point about it being insensitive to bet beer on
people losing their jobs. And it turns out to be very difficult to ship
beverages across international borders. So we need to settle on some different
terms than a case of beer.
