[DUG] Borland breakup demanded

[Stefan Mueller]

But Richard, seriously - it does sound a bit like they are getting no
funding at all, at least not for this year ;-/ 

Quote from http://biz.yahoo.com/bizj/050803/1144365.html?.v=1 

"We continued to see positive signs in the ALM (Application Lifecycle
Management) segment of our business as more customers turn to Borland to
help maximize the business value of their software," commented Scott Arnold,
interim chief executive officer. "Our challenge is to accelerate growth in
our ALM business while managing our maturing products. Our efforts for the
remainder of 2005 will focus squarely on executing our ALM growth strategy."


I am somewhat concerned about the long term of Delphi, with Borland that
determined to head off into other markets than developer IDEs and compilers.

Regards,
Stefan

Of course Delphi is getting funded! But there isn't an unlimited budget
just like for any software product (including your own).  It may not be
as much as individuals would like but life is never perfect.

If you read the Borland team leader's quotes (Troy Klukewich, Manager,
Product Documentation, Borland Software) on the Delphi Documentation
newsgroup borland.public.delphi.documentation, you get the impression
that things aren't getting funded any way ...

E.g.  "Resources are limited, but if we know exactly what topics
customers want, we can focus our attention wisely."
