I think Borcoderoprise would be closer<br>
Borland, CodeGear, Embarcadero and the ever favorable Inprise<br>
<br>
Anyone else see further improvements?<br>

direction is that the platforms they are targeting are all
well served by completely free tools. Unless Embarcadero
sort out their thinking w.r.t. low cost, entry level SKU’s
for their software development products and shake off their
addiction to/obsession with enterprise (small “e”) type
developers/customers, they simply cannot compete in those
spaces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

they could be competitive if they modify their thinking
around pricing, but my guess is that they will choose not to
do that, and instead expect/hope those markets will “mature”
around their ticket price, because the mindset at
Borcaderoprise is that “real, grown up software developers
pay handsomely for their tools – everyone else is just
tinkering”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
