No it wouldn't . I dunno what you mean anyway, DB1 was DBC and I suppose you could class DBPro as DB2, and DBPro has not gone as far as it can so there is no point in making a new DB.

Get DBPro.

No, they could not. DBC is interpreted. DBP is compiled. They also use different versions of DirectX and correspondingly, different feature sets and file formats (with some backwards compatibility and zero forward compatibility.)

DB3 (if it were to be considered) would be a new compiler and most like a significant step above DB2. For example, making it based on .NET technology (classes, object orientation, etc) or perhaps going crossplatform (Linux/OPENGL, PS2, XBOX, etc.)

Not something likely to happen for years, at best possible speed. Right now DBP (DB2) still has plenty of room to grow and areas to clean up/improve on.

It would be neat after they're done upgrading DBPro if they struck up a deal with microsoft, depending if Bill's new XNA thing is good.

Not sure if Long Horn is in it, but if you check out the Microsoft site, search "XNA" they got a couple articles about this thing that they're really excited about--but don't give much info on what it really is. It's specific to game producing.
