I missed previous discussion on this subject.  I apoligize if I am
rehashing old ground.

Let me start by saying that I like Borland a lot and have bought many
of their products.  They are probably the best thing to happen for
programmers (and others) since the spread of the IBM PC and clones.
I have noticed some very encouraging things happening at MicroSoft as
a result of the competition from Borland.  But .... has anyone else
noticed that Borland and MicroSoft marketing are moving toward one
another?!?

I too think that $40 is too much for an upgrade of a product that
retails for $99.  Even MicroSoft charges only $25, which I think is a
reasonable price.  Based on what most *good* companies (e.g., WordPerfect)
charge, $25 seems like a fair price.  Seems like I recall a Borland 
policy of $10 for an upgrade, or was that only for minor revs?
