I read that Borland was prominently featured at the Microsoft Professional Developers' Conference. Perhaps MS has decided that as long as BI thrives, two things will happen.
1. more people will use MS products like SQL Server, NT, and Office. There are way more end users than developers, so if a few use Delphi or JBuilder instead of VB or J++, it's not bad business for MS.
2. it maintains competion. w/o BI, MS might have the Justice people wondering what happened to all the software tool companies.

could it be an older, wiser microsoft?

cheers,
m

isn't that too bad!, my heart is just bleeding. I know what it is like to have a job where one does NOTHING especially when one thinks that one has talent. The days get longer, the weekends get shorter and fewer things matter. Like some one once said compared with love and life , money counts for very little. Rot in code I shall extend no debugger to save you .
