- Well, my experience with Borland was not quite so happy.
-
- I too had TP6.0 purchased shortly before the new release, and I
- called up Borland to obtain the free upgrade to version 7.
- Unfortunately, I never got mine despite many calls.
-
- I was quite disappointed.
-
- I thought for sure that they would not pose any problems.
- My experience in the past was good, so I was truly surprised when they
- did not follow through. Perhaps as Borland matures, they are taking
- on the ways of Microsoft and others, and forgetting wence they came
- from.
