A very crude transaltion of the chinese site quoted by zhenyu shu (thorugh Bable)
Borland David I, Li Uygur CSDN 访谈 factual record 4
2005.12.06 comes from: CSDN
Han Lei: Thanks two replies. Now friend which gives the time outside the field. Has 网友 to change to the present Borland two people matter is interested, is new CEO getting to work, but also some is Dunny Thorpe leaves, preceding news everybody thought is the advantage good news, behind a news, did not know whether can has the influence to the Delphi product and the Borland product route?
David I: First article, you said to, we extremely is very happy he to hold the post of us President and the chief executive officer, he all has worked in Microsoft Corporation and Oracle, at that time was responsible for the development relations, the attenion development and the platform work. About Dunny, it already has worked in Borland Corporation very many years, itself was a very great person, moreover also is a very great programmer. Certainly, any person leaves a company, says to the company all is a loss. But recently several years first had develop Pascal to leave, afterwards the together unit exploitation VCL person also already left, although had these personnel's changes, but our team or had the strength very much, moreover also had some outstanding personnel to join. Constructs Delphi is team's endeavor, including from the different city and the different national development endeavor. The Caliber work, all is completes in California. But ECO is completes in the Sweden Stockholm. Also some completes in St. Petersburg. Caliber is through completes in California and Brazil. This department's members also used have obtained the different edition as the tool. Including 15,000 active requests. The entire development team has also used Star Team in the middle of this process for the source code change as well as and its the management. Some times every one day all make to construct every day, some times one day complete several. Therefore, our these teams may finally gather these distributional developments achievement places in the same place. Our chief skeleton teacher, it has held the post of chief executive officer's duty. Moreover he was extremely active, has organized various conference, moreover also had own on the Borland server contribution, I wanted to emphasize Delphi was not a person's matter, was many public information, also has the result which many quality control engineer worked together, thus caused Delphi 2006 to become a successful product, we also wished in advance Dunny which was in office in Google to have a good luck. I in Borland Corporation more than 20 years, you so long as have worked in this company, you regardless of work to any company, all is the Borland team. Our development team this very moment all will start in the design next Delphi edition. If you also want to understand the Delphi next development the road map speech, I also very will be willing with you to discuss. Any the person which makes the suit to Delphi, their benefit all will be extremely feels middle future many ages. Compares with this, these pitiful Delphi 6 editions developments have been different, they now already walked to the terminus, perhaps they should transport Delphi. Uses after Delphi, they will be allowed to use win32 in the future six months and net continue to be engaged in the development, will have in the condition time will carry on the development using win64.

Zhenyu, thanks.
Just a side note: I read the few English words (names) from the other
link you posted. I noticed they spelt Danny as Dunny. Ah, a glimmer of
hope! It could be a hoax! :-D
(BTW, must say DavidI does really look a lot like Kingsley Holgate. Or
is Kingsley moonlighting for Borland? :) )

Is this a reliable source?

I hope David I or someone from Borland can clarify here.

(Just when you thought the sky falling wasn't enough ... :( )
Very bad news if this was true. :(
Anyone knows who will be doing Danny's work in case he leaves?

Think about it, is our planning and investments for the future based on
the employment of a single person in a US company?

Hi, Ted,
Thanks for your reply.
David I told me that Danny Thrope had left Borland. I am from China
and
Now David I is visiting China.
Danny Thrope has gone to Google.
Well that is not all bad news is it?
People won't miss Danny Thrope.
On the other hand, if you told me that Danny Thorpe was leaving, well that's
a different matter :-)

No, not the whole company of course, but Delphi (and the compilers)
maybe. Agree?

What I think, have no particular sources for it, is that Google wants to
make a sort of OS in the browser, like we now run all kinds of OSes as
virtual machines in VMware inside Windows.
Maybe "OS" is the wrong word, but most likely some kind of "wrapper"
with an API.

Regardless - if "the sky is falling" because of this, are we that either

Re: Danny Thrope has left Borland?

That is because MS has lots of $$$$. That is the marble wall you refer to.
Nobody considers one guy all that important at MS, and let's face it, they
don't communicate with the public like the Delphi team has. I wouldn't know
who the "big guy (or gal)" in the Office group is, and we'd probably never
hear of him/her leaving (unless Google released a press release just to p!ss
MS off).
Honestly, I didn't know ANYBODY at Borland before they started blogging other
than maybe Anders before he left, David I, and John Kaster because of the
BDN website.
They are all individually important but they are part of a team. There are
members of the team that can move up and take places of those that leave.
I don't wish anyone to leave, but sometimes a new person may have a fresh
perspective on a new direction so it isn't always a negative thing. Besides,
who on earth wants to work on the same thing for 20+ years, even if it is
the best compiler on earth. Danny has given the programming community his
baby, and it is grown and on its own. He probably wants to start a new "no
one has ever done this before" type of challenging project. I also, doubt
he would have left his baby in bad hands. I will sleep well tonight with
no worries about this at all.

At least it is a big deal because of the symbol effect.
Somehow Borland is different, and on another planet than Microsoft.
When
MS is the huge machine monster with impenetrable marble walls, Borland
on the other hand is the Geek's true companion, we personalize with
Borland, admire the gurus, what if David I left?
