Lockheed? When did Lockheed get into the Windows/Ada development
tool business? (Other than internal tool building that we all
pretty much engage in.) I'd be interested in knowing what they're
making generally available to the public out of their IR&D in
software tools.
BTW: More on topic... My understanding of Microsoft Compiler
Economics is that they pretty much give them away at a tremendous
loss in order to get people developing software for their OS -
which is where the *real* money is at. (We do similar stuff with
jet engines - the money is in the spare parts & maintenance.)
Hence, someone who is selling an Ada compiler and expecting to
make a buck at it is going to have a hard time competing with
Micro$oft.
Still, the price of Ada compilers is down at a semi-reasonable
level where an average individual or small business can easily
afford to get into it. (And there's always Gnat - which is a very
solid tool - if a little bare-bones in the GUI-building business.)
The Comp-USA arguement only proves what's selling the most, not
what's good or what's usable for a given task. I personally have
bought some pretty terrible compilers from mass-market software
chains and discovered that they wouldn't do my job...
