Surely you have logged these issues into QC then? Otherwise you really
can't expect Borland to do something about them. You can't fix bugs
you don't know exist...
Was it just the ASP.NET issues that required reboots and only because
IIS was being locked?

Guess their applications are not that big then. C# isn't the
framework. It's just another language that can be used to access it.

So you mean server side apps to push WAP content.

So the CEO sound announce upcoming features? I'd prefer the guy that
implements them to let us know personally. Isn't that what blogging is
all about?
What do you propose here? Why were they unimpressed? I thought Delphi
developers worked for Borland - perhaps I am wrong in this assumption.

I agree with this

I think they are listening. Employee blogs have been introduced. New
features announced in advance.
