Borland is asking a "pulse" question on their home page regarding compulsory registration. I, for one, will be a lot more interested in the progress of
Lazarus because of this. I hate forced registration when I buy a product. To me, this should be an
optional feature. As a paying customer I should not be inconvenienced by things like this.

Judging by the newsgroup responses I'm not the only one that feels this way. Expect a few people to not buy the next Borland upgrade and look elsewhere for their dev tools...

Cheers,
Kevin.

Yes, I've long been a Borland fan, but over the last 5 years my enthusiasium has declined to the point where I no longer use their products at home, and have switch to c/c++ for the most part. If Lazarus were to live up to it's promise of write once compile anywhere it would certainly gain my interest more then it has in the past. (In the past I've tried but failed to install for various reasons and decided that it was easier to do without). I'm watching this list in the hopes that one day, it reaches the point where it can be called a mature product.

Do you read the Borland Newsgroup (Kylix Non Technical)?

There are some users that are *very* angry.

Take care.

Please point them to the lazarus site, saying that they can help out, and thus make sure they have an alternative...

(I don't read newsgroups, otherwise I'd do it.)
