This is the name baby. I named this to honour
Borland when they released Kylix. I just can't believe they dump it.

I have this named registered under www.delphinux.com. If borland wants it I
will immediately give it to them.

Why they can't just tell us the name of the new company ...

Imagine the name of the "new Borland" company sliping out to the public
before they are "ready to switch" and some geek purchasing all domains that
even resemble that new name.

Going by where many of these discussions on non-tech end up, I think we
should get a beer company to buy it and have naming rights.

'Delphi comes with, win32, win64, .NET, and 2 cartons of beer :-)'

I vote Boags Beer.

Or perhaps a coffee company would be more fitting...

Now that's the best suggestion yet!

If the beer is free, I don't think I really care. :-)

That would be the pro version right?

Enterprise you get 4 cartons.
Architect you get 10 cartons.

We had a race relations case here over a firm that gave bottles of
wine to staff at Christmas. One employee made a complaint that this
discriminated against Muslims as they don't drink. For once common
sense prevailed and the case was thrown out on the grounds that he
was no more discriminated against than teetotallers of any religion.

How about Delfee or Delfeye? So there will not be any further confusion
on how it's pronounced. :)

Delphinux read Del Phee Nix.
That's American stupid way of reading. My computer speech SDK also read
it this way. But what about the rest of the world ?. Why Not
Delphinia, Delphinix, Delphi Inc. Forget the linux world, it is over.
