Please provide references to such statements. I am only aware of those that
have been made since Delphi 2007 was announced.
In their defence, there were such references (in the NGs) at least as
far back as Dec '06
Which makes it even more puzzling that the product name implies, and the
Official Product FAQ _STATES_ that Turbo Professional is for
"professionals". The FAQ actually says "wishing to use the most
powerful and most flexible Windows development tools".
It doesn't say "professionals wishing to use what is currently the most
powerful and flexible tool but whom in future wish to have to purchase
an upgrade to a different product (Studio IS a different product line,
according to CG themselves) in order to continue to use the most
powerful and most flexible tool of which the Turbo edition will be a cut
down, less powerful, less flexible version"
Are there false advertising laws in the US? CodeGear seem VERY
concerned about how the law prevents them from releasing a roadmap, but
would seem at the very least to be quite prepared to play fast and loose
with statements made to customers in their own product marketting
literature.
(Interesting comment in TDH - Nick said how much he wishes they could be
"up front and honest" in their roadmap - but apparently the lawyers are
there presumably to ensure deception and dishonesty? WTF?!?)
We should "listen more to what CodeGear says?"
Hmm, perhaps they should listen to THEMSELVES every once in a while?
lol
