Ø Kylux and .NET disasters which were admittedly with Borland rather than Embarcadero.
The management has changed. The technical team largely has not. This might explain why they are pursuing the same old lost causes... the new management think the failures of the past were ones of management/marketing rather than technical. Its a common failing of management to think that its just software anything is possible if we just twiddle the right bits, and a techie pointing out the difficulties or flaws in the thinking is just a negative ninnie. Ø From what Malcolm says though Im in the minority. Im surprised but it wouldnt be the first time ;-). I would love to know where Malcom gets his numbers because the empirical evidence seems to contradict his figures starkly. For instance, among visitors to my blog, did all those people who thought that cross-platform is a better idea than 64-bit simply choose not to comment and point out the error in my thinking? Currently the comments are running about 12/13:1 in the exact *opposite* bias to that which Malcolms comments would have suggested I could expect.
