<I hope there remains clear support for the independent developer.> Amen. Borland made its (original) fortune selling inexpensive TurboPascal $49 compilers to independent developers while Microsoft was still ripping them off with a $300 basic compiler. I sincerely hope the retail stores aren't totally abandoned to Microsoft. I'm sure Microsoft won't withdraw from this channel, and I see enough walls covered with their products already. If a wannabe programmer walks into a store and sees nothing but MS C++ SDK, they'll likely be sucked into the legions of Bill's bootlicking microserfs. Does Borland's policy of "working with Microsoft" mean that they're going to cede a whole market segment just to be left to chew on some crumbs for awhile?
