I read that Borland was prominently featured at the Microsoft Professional Developers' Conference. Perhaps MS has decided that as long as BI thrives, two things will happen.
1. more people will use MS products like SQL Server, NT, and Office. There are way more end users than developers, so if a few use Delphi or JBuilder instead of VB or J++, it's not bad business for MS.
2. it maintains competion. w/o BI, MS might have the Justice people wondering what happened to all the software tool companies.

could it be an older, wiser microsoft?

cheers,
