JC Jaros JC Jaros is part of an online effort to quell rational discussion on this matter. He's defending Cowpland and holding up Corel as a solid company, while diminishing Inprise's value. It's telling that he questions JBuilder's value since it's probably the jewell in the Inprise crown of $200 million plus of liquid assets. JC would certainly like to plant the seed of doubt and have investors think twice about bailing on this deal. JC is as transparent as they come. He claims that it's a tough time for software while Internet development tools from databases to content generators to infrastructure are growing exponentially and out pacing hardware sales. Ask IBM and Oracle and hundreds of other large software-driven companies how things are in the software industry: 50% quarterly growth in some cases. Anybody interested in JC's connection to Corel?

Nonsense Plus Software is in a tough place right now. Baloney of course. Not a whit of truth to this. You may know something I don't but Borland/Inprise isn't exactly reaching new levels of profitability. Isn't profitability enough right now or would you prefer they start gushing red ink as the company you support is doing? You have zero credibility and it's heading into negative territory with statements like that. Check this out: santacruzsentinel.com I don't know what Inprise shareholders have planned but it looks like a pretty nice merger to me. Both companies are pretty much in the same boat and they've got stuff that compliments each other well. I believe that's "complements" but whose checking spelling when you make bizarre remarks like that. Inprise is riding in a fully equipped PT boat while Corel is bailing out a rusted out hull, life jackets in hand. I'm not sure JBuilder Java IDE has as much potential as Corel is supposing (against Sun and IBM)... "You're not sure... you believe... you don't know..." Seems to me you're full of qualified statements. I think we know the reason why. IBM's development suite is slower than ice cold molasses, from what I hear, and Sun's focus has not been the IDE. Nice try JC but those comments just provide more reasons to mistrust everything you've said.
