Embarcadero is a super cool company, their software is extremely complex, unique, true database modeling (I've used in Ernst & Young, cap Gemini, for years) and I am super confident that the outstanding Embarcadero upper management and engineering will give Delphi, BCB, JBuilder a true home, finally after all these years!!! So, Great, Congratulations, say hi to everyone from "old" Dan :-) I am super confident that the unique database skills Embarcadero always invested in their true / real life products (talking specifically about new ErWin) will naturally merge with Delphi, BCB, JBuilder & Interbase. The amount of opportunity (into innovating together, now with true database players) is simply huge. Both embarcadero and Borland (CodeGear related) products are simply the best. What a great mix! I am so happy for you guys!!! I wish we were there together to share this super cool news (the bast in 12 years, that's for sure!!!) Now, the best development tools in the world will get a new life, especially in database area. Super Super Super!!! Regards, Daniel Great!!!

Part of the agreement is to let us sub-lease the Scotts Valley offices. Embarcadero is interested in all of the products and all of the people. The approach is absolutely in line with the original divestiture plans of Feb 6, 2006. C Johnson: We are staying at the campus and many other CodeGear locations.

I'm still a little ambivalent about the whole thing, but it does seem to closely approach the original ideal of long term investors. I'm curious to see how this plays out, particularilly in relation to Interbase and Blackfish.
