M$ could buy it and then swiftly kill it off - no need to support a product to compete with your other IDEs and most of all Java! Good chance to kill the number 1 Java IDE. No open source by Borland - too much money thrown out the door, they need cash for it. They are still losing money hand over fist and need to strip the lowest performing products in their software catalog. Sell it to the principle people within the division - Let them make a run with it. This happens a lot in the industry. Well being a hard core customer of Borland's IDEs from TP3 till today, I think I will send a nasty gram to Borland now, wait! Western Union has discontinued Telegram service here in the states! Aarrrrrrrrrgggggggg! Sorry Francois but I felt compelled to write this OT message, Darin
