| subject: | Re: Borland C++ 4.0 |
-=> Quoting david nugent to Simon Forsyth <=- dn> 'Excellence' seems to be taking a back seat to 'marketing' these days, dn> across the board. Borland are ignoring their users since they think dn> they know better. It isn't too late, of course, but it will be dn> interesting to see how they respond. The message that the DOS IDE is dn> sorely missed can't have gone completely unnoticed. I guess we'll see dn> just how far Borland are prepared to go to resist user demand in the dn> face of their decisions. If they don't relent, then I guess it's just dn> confirmation that they've become another MicroSoft, detached from dn> their user base and on some sort of religious jihad, with the attitude dn> that they "know better" and can somehow unilaterally determine what dn> the market wants. dn> Not that I'm complaining really - when a company starts to sour like dn> that, it opens up a gap for some healthy competition. That's how dn> Borland got where it did in the first place. Great! When do you start?
