On the positive side they dumped Delphi for .NET and implemented Unicode support. Maybe they are recovering from the last decade of ill management?
There is just something I don't get about some business. Delphi is similar to Palm in my oppinion. It was a very popular technology and then it's development stagnated and ill choices have put it in a near dead state. In the case of Palm really dead. Was it really more profitable for Borland to let Delphi nearly die? Wouldn't they profit more if they kept investing (and in the correct direction) but also had a larger market share then now? But nothing really new, I have always heard that depending on a single vendor is a bad idea. Sure, some single vendor software are doing fine now. But how long before management decides it's more profitable to milk the software and stagnate development? -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
