My cents: - annual subscription (with continuing selling of boxes) - more aggressive advertising and promoting - there is a luck of information about Borland products in a media, press, etc data is not segmented and targeted - bring Borland products in education: promotions for students, BCP, BCAD, BCSD - there is almost no value today to be as such loyalty program? - complete product cycle implementation (from design, testing to deployment) (there is most of the steps but all integrated) Back to top Serge Dosyukov (Dragon So Guest Posted: Fri Jul 16, 2004 12:07 am    Post subject: Re: Poll: What would you expect from Borland do for you? I think we doing enough... good and bad... spending years with Borland products... I have a Nissan car and it is good what Nissan done for me by designing, manufacturing and selling me a car, BUT is it the end of their effort?

"He's a man who has told the world he wouldn't have weapons of mass destruction, yet he does." - GWB 2/11/2002 "We'll find them. It'll be a matter of time to do so." - GWB 3/5/2003 "Where is Saddam? Where are those arsenals of weapons of mass destruction, if they indeed were in existence? We don't know whether perhaps Saddam is still hiding somewhere underground in a bunker, sitting on cases containing weapons of mass destruction, and is preparing for blowing the whole thing up, bringing down with him the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. We simply do not know." - Tony Blair 29/4/2003 "It was a surprise to me then, it remains a surprise to me now, that we have not uncovered weapons... in some of the forward dispersal sites. Again, believe me, it's not for lack of trying. We've been to virtually every ammunition supply point between the Kuwaiti border and Baghdad, but they're simply not there... We were simply wrong." - Lt. General James Conway 30/5/2003 Back to top theo Guest Posted: Fri Jul 16, 2004 12:22 am    Post subject: Re: Poll: What would you expect from Borland do for you?

Oops - I didn't expect you to take me that seriously. ;-) But as we're being serious, I'd like to add my favourite: Ggive us back the cheap standard editions!
