trenzich, this is how I read the free JBuilder business model. The release is a functioning IDE and much better than any other free Java tool (I haven't used this tool, so I don't know if its better. I'm just trying to pick through the free tool logic). So you get 100,000 downloads in less than a week. The JBuilder Foundation is just that, a foundation. Borland is going to sell add-ons and enhancements to it. Plus there is the licensing revenue for applications which are deployed. Somebody else already mentioned this, but being the #1 software tool developer for Linux will also help the company drive sales of its enterprise products. This is important since Linux will certainly grab more of a % market share of servers than it will of desktops. Dennis
