I have to agree here. They aren't after traditional linux
developers. They are after Delphi developers and offering
a cross platform environment. Code in Kylix and build for
Linux and Windows. Linux users need to be willing to buy
the tools out there.
If Photoshop, Illistrator, or Quark ever make it to
linux, I can get rid of my windows box. Until then
my wife keeps the M$ box and I fight to keep it
running. I cannot even get here to use the Windows
versions of Corel apps.
When those apps come out, they will cost as much
as the windows apps.
