    I tend to agree with the Anonymous poster.. it's an IDE.. the power of CodeInsight, code templates, etc can't easily be demonstrated through a screenshot. Read through the Features to get an idea of what the environment supports.

  6. Re:$999 for cross-development? by 1g$man · · Score: 2 · on Borland Kylix Released - Kinda

    According to this page. Borland will be releasing an "open edition" of Kylix by mid-year. This version will be able to be downloaded (or purchased) for $99--a bit more reasonable than $999.

    Looks like they just wanna rip off some Linux-hype/bandwagon corporate folks while they can.

    You weren't expecting Kylix for free, now, were you?

  7. (O/T) Micros~1 for Linux? by astrosmash · · Score: 2 · on More Kylix Information
    Near the bottom of the Kylix slide show, there is a link to Dr.Dobbs Kylix news. The news item from 2000/08/18 states the following:
    According to reliable sources, Microsoft is beginning to (hire another company to) port some of its applications to Linux. Starting with Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player 6.3 (which is already ported to Sun Solaris).
    The 'other company' is MainSoft. Apparently, they did the IE port to Solaris, and are currently porting Windows Media Player.

    Hmm. Has this been on slashdot before? Has anybody else heard this news? And why would Microsoft do this (if it's true)? What would they have to gain?

    Certainly they do not want to assist in bringing a free OS to mainstream desktops, do they? Is there an evil plan behind this, or do they just need things to spend money on...

  9. Killer Apps are the key by Speed+Racer · · Score: 1 · on Interviews Come Back -- With Cringely's Answers
    I think the most salient point made is that Linux needs killer apps. I'll go on record as saying that Kylix* will be the next killer app for Linux, thus paving the way for a multitude of killer apps.

    * Kylix is the upcoming RAD tool from Borland.
