Borland throws in the towel

Jochen Fromm-3

Nicks seems to be on holiday :-(
There are some interesting news about Borland, looks
like this is the beginning of the end for the renowned company.
Most developers seem to use either Eclipse, Java, Python/Ruby/etc.
and other open-source stuff, or Visual Studio, .NET and
other commercial products from Microsoft. Borland seems to
be lost in the middle.

"Leaving the IDE business means that Borland will no
longer sell its Delphi, C++ Builder, C# Builder, JBuilder,
Kylix or InterBase product lines..."
