I have to say, the name sorta landed on my eyeballs with a thud. But, then with a name like Jack Frosch, I'm the last one to make fun of another's name!
I know INPRISE is supposed to be based on INtegrate the EnterPRISE. However, I think INPRISE sounds more like, that is rolls off the tongue more like, the word REPRISE.
Reprise, among other things, means: "a recurrence, renewal, or resumption of an action; a separate or repeated occurrence; "a renewal of attack following a return to guard in fencing."
From reprise, we get the word reprisal, which means, "the regaining of something (as by recapture)."
You get the idea. Perhaps INPRISE will be Borland's REPRISE; a renewal leading to its taking back the market leadership position it once held.
Well, it was a thought... |
