Went to a job fair here in Chicago today. About 60 companies were there. Out of 60, two had advertised for Delphi developers. Nobody had heard of C++Builder. Everything was VB and VC++. One company had done Delphi once, but had stopped and moved to Forte.

OK, after defending BORL's technology for 2 years, under Del (The Diluter) it's time to admit. BORL/INPR is now dead.

Re: "However, I look around me and everyone I know uses MSFT products. For that to disappear overnight is highly unlikely."

I am looking and looking and looking and still I cannot find where oh where I mentioned the word "OVERNIGHT" in any of my post to cube? I can only guess you ment that towards him? But surely you saw the post we discussed about TWO YEAR TIME FRAME?

Maher,

Well said, and I agree. I was comparing INPR to MSFT only to show that even though these two companies are vastly different in every measurable category, they trade at the same price to earnings ratio. If MSFT is the long term historical success that it is, and can muster a PE of 47, how in the world can INPR keep its current PE of 44 without showing a growth rate in both revenues and earnings of around 40%??
