I agree - if you compare where Borland was at before Dell to today - he hasn't done so bad. Anyways, after a major purchase - such as acquiring Visigenics - I've noticed it seems to generally take about a year for a company to fully recover.

I do disagree with your assessment of Java though - we (I work for The Standish Group) recently completed the compiliation of survey data from more than 367 IS Managers and found that the use of Java has increased dramatically in the last year - it is in fact the #2 language for new application development (behind C++ and slightly ahead of Cobol). The Inprise products are now clearly focusing on the top two languages - not a bad plan.
