Kylix which is available on 1 cd will be packaged into 12 CDs or 3 DVDs.
Days after being released there will be 1GB of updates and patches.  Years
later, the package will be updated 100s of times and still won't be right.
We will of course be paying M$ for updates and fixes which should have been
ironed out in the first place.

Writing a Hello word application will require a CD full of libraries to
run.. ONLY on the Win32 platform of course.

By the way, will this be a fact or opinion?  (No opinion valid unless the
person concerned has installed the product on at least 100 machines.  No
opinions based on 10 machines are acceptable. ::::))))) )
