NickH: Hello Marco!
jkaster: yeah, we don't know why we're getting noise all of a sudden :(

jkaster: bmcgee: "will the Turbo download numbers be published?" - nick: we generally don't put up specific numbers.
davidi: holger: "Maybe the background noise is DavidI using morse-code from Japan? :-)" - Not me - I am not connected by audio, just listening to the stream and monitoring the chat room

Turbo Explorer mirror load
jkaster: davidi: "Why can't I install more than one Turbo explorers on the same machine?" - allen: it's technical issues limiting it, and we'll rectify it for our next release

davidi: aikimark: "konichiwa, David" – arigato
davidi: aikimark: "eat some sushi for me" - been eating all sorts of food
jkaster: davidi: "Can you install a Turbo if you have Delphi 7 or Delphi 2005 on your computer?" - nick: Yes. Delphi 2006 (and C++Builder 2006 and C#Builder 2006) is what they will clash with
jkaster: MarkS: "When will we be able to buy Turbo Professional licenses?" - David: it should be on the shop site now

jkaster: LizR: "While you wont publish is the general reaction what you hoped or better or worse?" - john: response is great. Download counts are huge already
aohlsson: aikimark: "will the buzz be removed from the audio before it is archived?" - If I can, with the editing software that I have...
jkaster: LizR: "Weill there be potential to buy just the license rather than the boxed version from borland? and or resellers as normal?" - nick: we want to be able to sell just the license. if it's not available yet, we will be making it available in the future
aohlsson: Unfortunately, I have no idea why the noise is so bad on the stream. There's nothing near as bad on the mixer board...
jkaster: LizR: "You guys gonna register domains like turbodelphi.co.uk turbodelphidotnet.co.uk turbocpp.co.uk etc (which arent taken!)" - nick: we'll look into it
aohlsson: DaveK: It's not the first time that the network has interferred...

jkaster: LESK: "Many of the target audience were not born in 1991 - are you planning to update the "World of Objects" video?" - david: it doesn't need to be changed. I'll also post " World of C++" and parts of "Learn Turbo Pascal" when I get a chance during my travels.
aohlsson: blackbird: "Alright, how about a ranking then (Delphi #1, Delphi.NET #2, etc.)?" - We can't and won't go into that for legal, SOX, etc, reasons. At least not until we're allegedly spun off.
jkaster: matra: "What is your strategy regarding the "ever new" technologies, that are constantlly being produced by MS (Windows Workflow, LINQ, .NET Framewokr 3.0). Delphi will support .net FW 2.0 a year after it has been available..." - allen: we're working as quickly as we can.
aohlsson: blackbird: "OK, then answer this, if you dare: What would y'all rather eat, the fat from behind a caribou's eyeball or a frosted poptart?" - Neither, I just ate. Thanks. :)
jkaster: bruce, we're seeing questions from you
jkaster: DaveK: "Is there anything on modeling for win32, specifically the BDS Pro SKU ???" - nick: yes, there is. Full two-way modeling with Together Allen: and ECO for the .NET side of things, and the Turbo versions for .NET include this as well
jkaster: ElSid: "Printed docs and or Turbo Books planned ?" - nick: we deliver PDFs and that's our current plan

jkaster: ElSid: "Turbos to be available as free magazine mounts ?" - nick: yes, it's in work. allen: absolutely
jkaster: MarcoZ: "Allen, make sure you do! People are already starting to wonder if Highlander will be an old hat when it's released. Communicate this publically sooner rather than later!" - noted
jkaster: mmead: "Where can I get a wall poster of the VCL?" - think it's a great idea

jkaster: bmcgee: "Nick asked in non-tech if we would like a registry free BDS install. Yes. Is this likely?" - allen: nick's doing market research. It's just Nick being Nick ;) (at this point)
jkaster: Sebas: "There are any news regarding Togheter for C++?" - allen: we're working on this issue for Highlander. Don't have anything else to say about status
jkaster: matra: "About bleeding edge: Borland was once kown to be on "bleeding edge" and bringing to live new development technologies (object pascal,..). Any plains to regain this position?" - nick: Yes, we have plans to take over the world. David: we have more resources dedicated to our products now than we did before February 8th
jkaster: jthurman: "How about a little Hylander teaser? Maybe some hints on new features that you're thinking about maybe possibly contemplating considering including?" - allen: I think everyone should become very familiar with technology from Microsoft called MSBuild

jkaster: bmcgee2: "Are we likely to see some clean up of existing VCL controls that ship in the box?" - nick: what do you mean by clean up?
jkaster: iman: "why not ant/nant" - allen: If you install .NET 2.0 and you will find MSBuild
jkaster: bmcgee2: "DBGrid cleanup is one of the things I have in mind. CDSGrid or a data aware Virtual TreeView would be great, too." - nick: ok, noted
jkaster: LESK: "any news on the DevCo divestiture" - all: you may have heard ... david: we're in quiet mode, and Borland will cover any additional news
