Changing the name creates much-needed distraction and also gives Borland an excuse to pull back all of the unsold goods under the guise of repackaging. Is the move a stroke of genius or the stuff from which shareholder suits are made?'

Call me naive but I can't believe that that is the reason they are changing the company name. That is just too much impact to go through just to recall excess inventory that isn't selling. If there is that excess of inventory, I'd be interested in knowing what product(s) are not selling.

I put as much credibility in that rumor as the "takeover du jour" rumors.

What's next? Borland causes the US to go to war with someone just because they have sold InterBase to the government (the Air Force I think it was) and that way they'd be able to jack up sales?????
