Open Letter to our customers regarding the Kylix Price Promotion
On behalf of the RAD Products group I would like to thank you for the positive messages and letters youve sent regarding the new
Kylix price promotion. The release of
Delphi 6 with Kylix compatible CLX technology is significant for Delphi, Kylix, and the Linux platform. For the first time developers can build ultra-high performance applications with the most productive RAD development environment and, using Delphi and Kylix deploy to both Windows and Linux. Delphi 6 when combined with Kylix completes the Windows/Linux cross-platform development circle.
The new Kylix price promotion is timed to coincide with the launch of Kylix Compatible Borland Delphi 6 and is designed to make Windows/Linux cross-platform application development and deployment available to all of our customers. The promotion is a 90-day limited time offer for any developer to purchase the Desktop edition of Kylix, our award-winning Linux application development platform, for US$199 - a US$800 savings! The price promotion is being offered worldwide and expires August 27, 2001. The promotion is also expected to rapidly generate a significant increase in the availability of Linux desktop applications.
Many developers have already purchased Kylix Desktop at a higher price. We value your business and understand that this promotion is a deep discount. We would like to extend an offer to customers who have purchased Kylix Desktop at the higher pre-promotional price prior to May 29, 2001 - a free upgrade to the Server Edition of Kylix (value US$1999) as a thank you from Borland and the Kylix team. Contact your local Borland Customer Service for details.
