Correspondent from New York
There is currently some discussion (1) about where the name 'XE' comes from. One possible theory is they used the website www.xe.com because Embarcadero uses this ridiculous exchange-rate where US$1 = Euros 1.
In Europe, the cost of Delphi is almost 48% higher than in USA.

Possible interpretation for above image:
Does EUR 1 = USD 1?
Does EUR 1 = USD 1?

XE - obvious. Xchange'Em. Exchange 1 USD = 1 EUR multiplied by version number. This combined with every year a higher version number. We are very concerned, where will this lead to :)
Little hope, next year the US vote for the president and usually dollar is stronger in this period ...
Clever bunny strategy - If Europe does not pay the debts for Greece, the EUR becomes weak and the price for Delphi would drop and from the difference we could by the whole area with the temple. Then we make blog post - bought a whole area for the price of one copy of the Delphi SKU.
Times are hard today.
I think it's clever: Xtra Extraneous
Plenty of "new" features, and very few of the old bugs fixed!
I'm still waiting for a TSQL object that correctly handles output variables, multiple result sets, and RETURN_VALUE. Been waiting about 15 years now....... getting a little bit miffed.....
And tolltip help has made a big step backwards... you used to be able to hover over an identifier and it would tell you where it was declared, a big help in clearing up "with" related confusion... Now we get LESS info, but in a pretty yellow-tinged box. If only I could sell yellow.
Xtreamly Expensive :)
