My problem isn't with Inprise's quality.  It's far superior to
Microsoft.  My problem is with the little things, like having to pay
$9 for a small upgrade, one that other companies would provide for
free with downloading, $9 for the CD.  It's not the price, it's the
feeling they need the money, even though it's a small amount.  That
concerns me.  I've used both JBuilder and J++, I much prefer JBuilder,
it still has some growing to do.  But I just don't see Inprise selling
their product to the major companies and I need to use the IDE's that
keep me employed.  Same thing with their CBuilder product, I can whip
out app's about 2-3 times faster in the CBuilder IDE over the VC++
from Microsoft.  But the company I work for has bought into the
Microsoft crap.

It's the Inprise marketing, and lack of market penetration that
concerns me.  Quality their way above MS.
