Re: Delphi is dying? Finally, unfortunately

Dave,

Sadly it is not a 2 way street. It's a one way street. Borland themselves need to make sure that 3rd part components work as they do in Visual Studio, with or without the help of the 3rd party vendors. If what you are saying is true, that 3rd part vendors are encouraged to share their suites with Borland to make sure they work in BDS, then that is even more disturbing. That means that even though Borland themselves offer to aid 3rd party vendors to make their suites compatible with BDS, they feel it is not worth the effort.

It's a two-way street; as John said, Borland invites 3rd party vendors
to submit their suites to Borland so that QA can help with any issues.
Borland can't do a lot about it if vendors choose not to support BDS.
