Not the first out there, but the last one standing

I had the chance to attend the Borland Nordic Partner Training 2004 this week in Stockholm, Sweden. There, I learned -- among other things -- what appears to me to be a change in Borland's strategy.

That is, previously Borland has been quite aggressively following new market trends. However, now we were presented Borland's new tag line, which goes basically like this:

"Not the first out there, but the last one standing."

Does this mean that new areas like the 64-bit world, future versions of .NET and mobile platforms will not be followed until there is real business value?

If so, that could drive customers away from Borland's solutions.
