Borland spins off CodeGear

Finally news from Borland: they have decided to spin off the Developer Tools Group (DTG) as a separate company called CodeGear instead of selling the business unit. Of course, the non-technical Delphi newsgroup is full of discussion whether this is good or bad and whether there will be enough cash to do what the DTG has so loudly anticipated to do. As for myself, I think a totally new owner would have probably been a better bet if chosen right, but then again a spin off sounds to me a less risky venture.

Now, what CodeGear needs to do is get some real action going fast. I need support for Vista, .NET 2.0/3.0 and mobile platforms. I hope Highlander will live up to its promise. Time is CodeGear's worst enemy.
