Inprise is still sore about VB which beat Delphi in the front end
market...not that i am a VB fan.....i am a delphi user too....but u know
borland want to win over ppl who have never heard of Delphi and i tell u
there are plenty of them....
since they want to release a delphi version which runs in linux i would
really like to see C++ Builder for Linux as well or maybe even JBuilder
