INPR named as potential SUNW takeover target That's an old one. INPR always gets passed over when the time comes. I won't hold my breath this time either. Just what would SUNW do with that 100MM from MSFT anyway ????

Netbeans is a better choice for Sun. Borland has too much baggage and even at the current low price would cost more than NetBeans which can be had for peanuts(yuk yuk).NetBeans has built a very good base IDE. INPR reminds me of some nasty twisted code that is better off in a bit bucket or at least broken up into cohesive pieces.I purchased Turbo Pascal for cp/m back in the dark ages...what a wonderful well built robust work....what the hell happened....well it all started with D-Base long story with sad ending
