Hi Oded,
They can ask for $1000 for kylix because they got the best compiler for Linux
in the market right now for their product. period. From what I hear (from
beta testers, not sales people), btw, is that their C++ compiler that they'll
release later this year, will leave the gcc far behind in terms of
optimizations and compiling speed...
Justifying $1000 purchase for a hobby programmer... well, thats another issue
:)
