David

I can't believe that either will be a problem, in fact, I believe both will prove to be extremely beneficial !!

First, the name change will be great as per Del's explanation AND you've got to believe there WILL be a contiuous marketing campaign beginning early June once approval/change has been finalized.

Second, the professional services/education business is (1) extremely profitable, and (2) most necessary to assure companies' DO not only THINGS RIGHT but to also DO the RIGHT THINGS and have resources available to mentor them through the learning and knowledge transference processes.

ALL the above are necessary and critical for GROWTH !

David, Re: >"Any thoughts?"

It seems IMO that the market is only interest in Borland if they will get taken out by IBM or ORCL. Every time some news tidbit is due the stock rises a point to a point and half then pauses, after the news, if it's not about Borland getting taken over the rise (1 1-1/2) sells off. Then every one on this thread starts talking about what's wrong with (whatever news was released) and that's the fundamental side.

Now until either they get taken out or get a really big sale in this enterprise business I just fell a lot of frustration and it's leading to disgust!

>>>What about the other goof? Mixing a consulting business with product development can be a very bad thing.<<<

Then again there's Sterling, Oracle, IBM.
