Hey there,

I come from a pascal background, so when I saw that Delphi 2005 supported .NET.. it seemed only logical that I'd want to think about playing with that a little bit. But I looked at the pricing.. wow. According atleast to the website, you have to buy the "Enterprise" version to connect to relational databases like DB2, SQL server, etc.. and it's over 1200 dollars. Seems like even Visual basic .NET 2005 Express can do all of that, and it's supposed to be what, 50 or 100 dollars? Why would Borland charge so much for Delphi, when it seems that they are jumping on the .NET Bandwagon anyways?
