On: Why did Borland fail?

[conradfr]

I have fond memories of Delphi 3 during my high school years.

I did a marketing internship at Borland France around 2004 and Delphi was still the cash cow but a great deal of effort was put toward "enterprise" softwares like StartTeam, Together etc that were from acquired companies IIRC.

It's easy to judge now but back then the shift toward the web apps was slowly happening, C#/.Net was not especially a success ...

It was in Portugal, but the focus was in ASP.NET not WinForms.

I have fond memories of Turbo Basic in my dad's lab
