No, actually, this is a bizarre development. I’m glad I’m splitting my time between Delphi and LAMP and other stuff.

Especially worrisome for people like my current employer whose product is 100% Delphi (some of it was TP from before Delphi), and who has few resources for porting to another language.

If I were an IT manager looking to start a new big project, there's no way I'd choose any Borland product for it. Regardless if its ALM or IDE. Just because they are openly stating to the world, "We really don't know what we are doing. Hey, this month let's try ALM and see if that works". The fact is that the way this was handled was ridiculous and a collosal mistake. I've shelved all my Delphi stuff now, and I am just working in Open Source tools. There's no point dealing with this dysfunction. <br> <br>Good luck. You'll need it. Well everyone seems to forget the NEW customers who are no longer considering Borland IDE products as viable.

Take a look at recent news from javaOne about JBuilder 2007 and the future roadmap. You can still use JBuilder 2006 today, and we will have JBuilder on Eclipse for you this year. You will be able to move your projects over, and still do your Java work.
