I can also remember... I'm using Borland since TurboPascal 1.0 under CP/M and
was changing over to Microsoft. Of course I still have several projects out in
the field requiring maintainance. It was pretty unclear how Borland likes to
treat their customers in future and I'm convinced their policy pushed more users
to MS than they wanted to. 

Sorry, Borland is a bit too late. 

The C# IDE was a joke, as the Java IDE and the Builder IDE (compared to BC++
5.x). Yes, the MS ide was still lacking in certain debugging features, but since
they also support bold fonts in the editor the IDE is as good as BC5 was -
especially with my Borland shortkey-settings I use ;) They also have editor
macros!

Again, sorry to say, Borland needs to convince me to choose their product again
as I'm expecting lot of new/old bugs with V2005 V0.0...

Can't see...
