TTOBST: You stated "Why can't Inprise be the COM in .COM? or the organization in .ORG etc etc etc. What are they talking about in those board meetings anyway? That's all I am saying here. Nothing is wrong with good products but be more aggressive about getting them on top and into today's investing minds."
Again, in its press release, INPR specifically outlined:
"Today's results indicate that we are making progress toward executing our plan to remain the number one independent provider of world class application development tools for all major platforms, including Linux, Solaris, and Windows,' said Dale Fuller, interim president and CEO of Inprise/Borland. ''Over the last quarter, we have moved our Linux, Internet Access Infrastructure and integration frameworks for Application Service Providers strategies forward and continued moving the Company towards operational profitability.'
During the last quarter, in its push to become the leading provider of tools and applications for the Linux platform, Inprise/Borland delivered a free download of its Linux just-in-time (JIT) compiler to the Linux community on its Web site; released JBuilder Foundation, a version of JBuilder for the Linux, Solaris, and Windows platforms; announced its intention to open-source InterBase 6.0, which is currently in beta, the first commercial grade embedded database for multiple platforms in the first half of the year 2000; and announced VisiBroker for Linux, one of the first commercial grade Linux CORBA Object Request Brokers (ORB). The Company also shipped Inprise Application Server 4, the only application server currently in the marketplace to fully integrate both CORBA and Enterprise Java Beans technologies (EJB)."
