shane,
don't get me wrong; i like Java, and think JBuilder is a high
quality tool. That's why i like Borland: quality.
I just don't want BI to get left behind if people start losing interest in Java for the front end. Even anti-MSFT pundits admit that DHTML and the Dynamic document model is excellent. It has limitations, but i like to have the option on how i want to deploy my front end, and at the moment, DHTML is the best bet, in my opinion.
Personally, i don't think MSFT is evil. They write some good
software, and the price is usually very reasonable. They innovate,
and often, others have to play catch up.
Cheers,
