Jeff et al --

(1) D/2000 stands for "Dennis 2000." Alternative theories exist for "Deathrace 2000."

(2) We have ***NOT*** changed non-Windows pricing (i.e. Mac, Unix, VMS). While we may make some tuning adjustments on those platforms, we don't expect to have free runtimes on all platforms. We build the product on Windows and then port to those other platforms, which is a very difficult and expensive process (if you don't believe me, then ask Sybase's PowerBuilder why their Mac and Motif ports are over two years late ;-). On Unix and VMS, we also support character mode deployment, and again this is expensive and time consuming. With Windows now not only our fastest growing but also our largest single platform (in terms of units and revenues), we have to take a "Windows first" attitude but without negatively affecting our huge Unix and VMS installed base.

Hope this helps,

• Dennis/2000
