Techweb: Can Inprise/Borland Rise Again?

"Inprise/Borland's latest effort to save itself from certain death -- or acquisition -- may be too little too late."

"Last week at its developer conference, Inprise made several announcements aimed at reviving interest in the company's cross-platform tool strategy for Web app development."

"Interim president and CEO Dale Fuller said the company's JBuilder Java tool -- arguably its most valuable product -- will support Apple's latest operating system for the Mac, OS 10."

"Fuller also outlined a plan to ship new RAD tools under Project Kylix, which will expand the capabilities of Inprise's Delphi and C++ development tools for Linux."

"More and more people are moving to Linux," Fuller said. "There's a bigger and bigger need for that."
