Maybe you need a few more members dedicated to just this. If Borland
has limited resources, why not tap the user community?

If they had been able to get enough early interest many apps would have
been written in the Delphi language on Linux and this would have
increased interest in Linux. The only mistakes they have made in this
area is that they have not marketed it enough and they have not
maintained it well enough. I believe that Kylix interest (for desktop
development) would have start picking up now. Ironically, Kylix won't
be updated in 2004. Personally, I am now seriously considering writing
my first "serious" app for Linux. I probably will be using Lazarus
because of the lack of Kylix updates. If Borland had maintained Kylix I
would be using Kylix. I am in two minds about this though- I may still
try it with Kylix. I just wish Borland would at least say that they are
not totally abadoning Kylix. Right now it is up in the air.
Mandrake 9.2 is an excellent desktop O/S. The only thing keeping me on
Windows right now is that I have customers using my Windows apps so I
need to use Delphi. If it weren't for that I would be using Linux as my
only O/S. All the other primary apps that I use can run on Linux and
Windows.
future. Most developers are concerned about the future of a commercial
company. They aren't concerned if they have the source code in their
hands for the development tool they're using. that is what they have
with GCC and KDevelop, right?
probably right on the "new developer" pricing. I believe that the
Delphi package should always include all platforms that are supported.
They should never be separated out into different SKUs. Many developers
are interested in cross-platform development today.
Linux so that ASP.NET apps can be written to run on Mono. It would be
nice to see Mono able to access the "*.pas" files and recompile
automatically- like it does with C# at the moment.
desktop market though.
Companies will be the first to realize the reduction in licensing fees
etc. that will affect their bottom line.
Cheers,
Kevin.

can fix GCC and KDevleop and all the other C++ editors on sourceforge
