    Visual Studio crashes often, and is still a work in progress. The Borland IDE and compilers leasve the QT and gcc compilers in the dust. For you people who discount the Borland tools, I suggest you take another look. In addition, as a development platform, Windows surpasses Linux.

    If I recall correctly, those top developers didn't just happen to go to Microsoft. Actually
    the evil empire paid extra for them to come over to the dark side to hurt Borland. Of course, as usual, Microsoft couldn't handle the idea of real competition.

    And to make things worse now people like you remember it as bad management on the part of Borland (and in a similar case Netscape) that was the cause of their demise. When it was, in fact, the evilness of the evil empire.

    ps. Thanks for sending your blood money on good causes, Bill.
