Embarcadero has published on its web site an interesting review of All-Access, providing an overview and comparing it with similar offerings (mostly MSDN). It is not meant for programmers, but can be used to convince your boss... (found in a tweet by Ludo).
Greetings Marco, I have greatly enjoyed your writings over the years. Here is how I made my calculation to go with All- Access. First, I added up all the cost, if I were a new user. It came to over $36,000. So let's just say 35k, to be safe. Second, I did happen to have purchased Delphi 2007 BDS, so I qualified for the upgrade price. Third, I was going to purchase Delphi 2009 Architect and JBuilder 2008 anyway, which came to about $2,500. Fourth, the discount price I ended up paying was in the $4,600 range (i don't know where they received the impression that I was in an iron lung machine ... just joking). Fifth, subtract $2,500 from $4,600, and I received a boat load of enterprise-level software, including Delphi Prism, ER Studio (great product), etc., for about $2,100. If I never use half the software, its still a fantastic buy. What really sold me was that although it's an 'Annual' pass, the software keeps working after a year; you just stop getting free updates. So ... if I do this every other year, the cost is REALLY low, if you ask me. Woo Hoo!!! See you in San Jose, Keith
