"Borland to exit IDE business, focus on ALM"

Update: Borland to exit IDE business, focus on ALM | InfoWorld | News | 2006-02-08 | By James Niccolai, IDG News Service

"Borland Software plans to sell off its struggling Java development tools business to focus instead on selling services and products for managing software development, the company announced Wednesday.

Borland is seeking a buyer for its IDE (integrated development environment) business, which includes its Delphi and JBuilder products. The move will allow it to focus on growing its business in the area of application lifecycle management, or ALM, it said. …"

And so we say goodbye to Borland, once and for all?

Wonder if MS is considering making this purchase? I wouldn’t be too surprised. Add Delphi.net as an “official” MS language? That would so rock…
