And the price of Delphi, in comparison, is a bargain. IMHO, I would be a fool of the highest level to abandon Delphi for VS simply based on the purchase price.

Don't go silly and change the subject, this has nothing to with VS, purchase price or otherwise, it has to do with price increases of Windows and Delphi. You had asked a question that insinuated large increases in the price of Windows:

Was he talking about Delphi, or Windows? :^)

I responded your to question by giving the latest price of Windows and asking for the latest price of the Delphi RAD professional.

"From newegg.com you can the latest Windows Vista Business for systems
builders for $140, what does the latest Delphi RAD Studio professional sell
for? :^) "
