O-kee-do-key... well, as soon as all the requiems are over, for those of us not entirely convinced that Inprise is about to shrivel up and blow away... how about some thoughts on this:

What explains revenues not being higher? Possibilities:
1. Inprise/Borland is in markets that are not lucrative?
2. The market's lucrative, but Inprise/Borland has the wrong products and services?
3. Right products/services but done poorly?
4. Right products/services, done well, but marketing/selling activity is weak?
5. All of the above are spot on, but enterprise customers aren't buying due to low stock price?

Whatever your diagnosis -- what do you feel should be done, and do you see signs of Inprise doing it?

(Gene, this message wasn't specifically to you... if you are leaving us... farewell.)
