I see a problem with this little fantasy. Just as Kylix could have been the killer language for Linux, the problem is in supplying a community that expects/wants/thrives on "free" or "cheap" with a product burdened by Enterprise scale pricing. Inprise, sorry Embarcadero, are sadly seemingly intent on heading down this Road to Nowhere once more. e.g. when suggested that offering Delphi 2007 as an incentive to anybody upgrading from BDS 2006 or earlier to Delphi 2010 (rather than wielding the threat of removal of upgrade privileges) the response was "You can get that already - just purchase All Access".
