First, what the heck is "Peloton"? <g>
Then I have to ask myself what the hell David I. is even trying to
say? It seems that in one breath he's committing to a prior knowledge of a
spin-off company that will absolutely take on all of Borland's current
Developer related resources and management, while in another breath doesn't
even know who or if there is a buyer being directly talked to! He or no one
else can guarantee what another owner will do or not do once the ink dries
on the sales contract, and there's certainly no way under American corporate
law to enforce any prior agreements that can't just as easily be
broken...even if made a part of the contract! All they have to do is say a
hurricane devastated their profits and so can do whatever the hell they
want! What's he trying to sell here with this statement?
If it's his best wishes for the future, yes they sure are grand and
I'm all for them, but it sounds to me like little more than a plea to the
community not to run and hide before an idiot buyer can be found and the
asking price has to be lowered a couple million! Borland, with or without
its developer section is not a sound investment in the current world market,
and certainly not with the tremendous initiative that Microsoft has put
behind NET and VS!
