I contacted the distributor listed in the borland web site to ask if Turbo
Delphi Professional
will be available in China market, the answer is "No". Even delphi
professional is also not
available, only delphi enterprise version is available, which is 2 times
expensive than
the professional version and 4 times expensive than Turbo Delphi.
And the price is even more expensive than the price of US(around 3,000 US$).
Is it a marketing strategy of Borland?
 

I have to tell you it is true in many other countries except USA. You
have to know this is not wield.
How to buy? I am not going to buy any until it is DevCo that serves. I
am not going to buy anything from Borlandish guys. And at this very
moment, a Turbo Delphi Explorer version is enough. It already meets all
my needs now.
The only option for you is to wait. If you are not patient, you may walk
away and never turn back.
Sometimes it is Borland that drives us away from it. I wish DevCo do
something more positive.

Well, we finally decided to choose Visual Studio as our future development
tool.
Good luck Borland, you have good product, we just dont feel respected.

This is a policy I just do not understand.
Seriously, I just don't have a clue why somebody selling a pure
software product wants to manufacture CDs/DVDs, box them, ship them
round the world and pay a middle man.
What value are these people adding?

Ian,
speaking the customer's language.
I admit that all of the above could be done by organizations that are
_not_ resellers, but I guess that having a stake gives them incentives.
Ciao

DevCo subsidise them. Then we'll see exactly how valuable they are ;-)

before the Internet, using in-country distributors was a good workable
model. But, in the Internet age, it is an anachronism. Not only that, I
believe it is harming sales of product.
