Tales from the scene #3
Has anyone ever wondered what happened to Softel vdm's Delphi components and why they are C++, ActiveX, DLL, NET component vendor instead?
Your reviewer, DelphiHater remembers many years ago (almost 6 years ago?) Softtel sent an email newsletter to everyone that they would discontinue their Delphi VCL products in favor of their C++ products. They mentioned they stopped it due to piracy and since nobody was buying their native VCL libraries, they would discontinue it.
