I think this is in addition.  The products they enquired to accomplish this, they also enquired the staff to keep developing them.  Needless to say there are now Russian and Swiss development centres.

Well they don't actually have to write a compiler for either of these languages (java, c#).  Just maintain an IDE.
C# is even easier because it works in the new IDE so just some C# specific IDE additions are required.
Also the PrimeTime IDE is used for CBuilderX (which appears to have been a flop).

 Not sure about this one as I am a fan of FireBird.  Not sure how much in resources IB takes up.

and this is mine :-)
 
I am mildly curious to see there take on native 64bit support though.  Danny rightly says that it's available now via Dot Net but that doesn't mean it should be the only way to go Dot Net in my opinion.
