=>Is it that you don't have anything to say? Or that you prefer for everyone to blindly stampede with the Borland bulls?<=
Hi Leo,
I would have liked to say more earlier, but I just got my SI id the other day... my thoughts parallel a good number of others anyway. I don't expect or desire that anyone would stampede "blindly" into an investment based on my advice anyway.
In late 1994, after over 3 years invested in VB and C++, I switched paths to Delphi to develop several flagship products for my employer. It was a risky and ultimately excellent decision on my part and I have been fortunate to have never looked back with regret. I watched Borland go through its transition of freeing itself of non-development oriented products, but never questioned their superiority in the development languages arena. After seeing and using the Borland products and vision at the Borland Developers Conference in July, I am convinced that Borland will play a very large role in shaping the programming world of the future. Development products is what they have always done best, and with the extra baggage gone, what they will continue to focus on. As someone else pointed out in the other thread, there may be a correction period, but as for me, I bought right after the conference in mid-July and decided to give them a few quarters to bounce back. As far as the analyst recommendation goes, if I followed their recommendation in early July, I would not have invested but I did and Borland surprised them. To bad more of them (if any) weren't at the conference.
Anyways, the Borland forum gets a fair dose of both sides of the story - nothing wrong with that. I did put in my two cents worth the other day, but after reading subsequent posts, I thought that others phrased themselves more elegantly. There is so much traffic on this thread that I never even caught yours (sorry). My post...
