Re: What this mean for Borland?

Difference is that Microsoft does mean it and has the commitment
to developers to prove it,

Which is why VS now provides nothing targetting the win32/win64 API directly
except C/C++?

MS took what was arguably the largest programmer base in existence
(generally estimated @ 6 mill) and simply stopped supporting their
language/platform combination. Suck it up--program for .NET or go home. That
your idea of commitment?
