Borland wants to sell its IDE department.

From the blog of VP of Borland: http://blogs.borland.com/davidi/archive/2006/02/08/23013.aspx. Delphi, C ++ builder, C # builder, JBuilder (and peloton), Interbase, jdatastore, ndatastore, kylix, And the Borland and turbo series of the old vertex. Although I have never been familiar with Borland (Vim, GCC, GDB, and JDK are used in universities, and eclipse, Vim, and various dynamic languages are used ), but I spent a few months on Turbo Pascal and Turbo C. Borland's brilliant performance was also familiar. Anders hijlsberg may be easy to handle, but it is still sad. IDE used to be a prosperous sunrise industry. When will it become a great deal of goods sold together ?) ? IBM, MS, sun, these companies that can make a large ide have to give away the IDE (Eclipse, netbeans. BTW, sun's CTO Johnathan blog in addition to open source is open source, and Robert scoble's blog in addition to good is good blog is the same, extremely boring), sell cheap sell (MS ), all want to rely on IDE to occupy the platform market, so as to sell other high-value services. Borland is probably hard to make money by relying on IDE. Companies that are still working on IDE are competing in specific markets, such as idea's intellij, ActiveState's Dynamic Language IDE, and Allegro's Allegro Cl.
