I find the 95% figure quoted as MS market share in Development Tools hard to believe.

I found the following article earlier today about the planned new IDE and some of the reasons behind it, but, as you'll see it does not mention VS integration. http://news.com.com/2100-1001-954958.html?tag=fd_top **My interpretation** of Borland's strategy (i.e., this is purely my opinion at this stage), says that such integration would never happen since, as I understand it, the one who controls the IDE is the one with the power. I see Borland trying to do what Microsoft would never do -- write an IDE that is O/S independent (well, runs on Linux and Windows, at least) and builds .NET as well as native applications under these O/Ss for a number of different languages, not just Delphi. So, in one way or the other, asking Borland to integrate into VS would probably undermine them. After all, does MS write pluggins for other web browsers or IDEs? -Andreas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rose, Alan (MDF Rangiora) Sent: Thursday, 5 September 2002 10:54 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Delphi 8 ? At the Delphi 7 preview yesterday and heard mention the fact that Borland's next major move is to come out with their own version of Visual Studio. ie. it will compile C# and a few others including a new Borland language, etc, etc. Anyone know whether this means there will be no support for Delphi in Microsoft's Visual Studio?
