RE: For or Against BORL / VSGN Merger.

I'm definitely FOR it.

Perhaps that's where the money is but what does that have to do with buying VSGN? BORL is moving there without VSGN. So they license the ORB instead of owning it. The last thing they need is to take on a big cash-hemorrhaging burden when they are just breaking even as it is. These take-overs are almost always a failure, and Borland doesn't have tons of cash laying around. I see big downside and no to little upside.
