[DUG] Borland breakup demanded

[Richard Vowles]

I have replied to Stefan privately as I am not allowed to speak for the
company, but I did point out one thing. Consider Centura/Gupta - if we
stayed doing what we were doing 5-6 years ago, we'd be like them.

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

"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.
