I'll just disagree that I'm adding so much vitriol to the style of the message that you send as the the substance but when I figure out what you were fumbling to say there I'll rethink it. I don't have time to mince words and think we have more than our share of prissy butt kissers around here. My comments are always emphatic and direct; they're also accurate.

Getting back to the subject, Inprise has a crisis-level production problem with JBuilder and they need to bring in outside assistance; clearly the people they have are clueless. I want to correct a few things I said earlier: I don't think JBuilder is sub-alpha quality, rather, it's the sort of product which any self-respecting software developer wouldn't let out of his or her cubicle. It's that bad. My worst fear is that they will see this as a buggy product instead of seeing it for what it is: a dismal development process.

That's enough for now, I've wasted enough time talking about this worthless outfit. Mark my words, these problems will spell the end of Inprise. After the silly name change, the embarrassingly trite Infonet and disastrous acquisition of Visigenics (including the comment-free resignation of its leader) I should have realized they were firmly on the road to continued incompetence. Thank God for Microsoft.
