Is that upgrade also valid if you have purchased Visual Studio 2003, as a competitive upgrade? They don't seem to know at Borland Canada.

No, Borland does not have a competitive upgrade (which I complained about to many VP's at the TeamB picnic a couple of weeks ago). Quote: They don't seem to know at Borland Canada.

Looking at the roadmap (albeit the Delphi roadmap, but C++ will get enhancements along with the Delphi side with each of the releases) there are 3 releases planed in the next couple of year, Highlander, Avalon and Win64. I'd say yes. In any case SA is not something you should look at as getting just the next release cheaper than upgrading, it is a long term commitment. As long as Borland has a release every 18 months your 3 year outlay to stay current is always cheaper with SA. Also you have the 3 support incidents you can also use. -- Jeff Overcash (TeamB) (Please do not email me directly unless asked.

I have used their products since Turbo Basic (anyone remember that) and Turbo C 1.0 when they only cost $99 and you knew it was the absolute best deal in town. Now, at well over $1000, do you really know what you're getting, or have any confidence in what is going to happen next?
