I doubt the Open Letter forms the basis of a legally binding contract
between Borland and its customers.

One the one hand we are always told by TeamB that Borland has limited
resouces and can really only afford to work on one product release at the
time (remember that why we were told that an SP for Delphi 7 was out of the
question until all new products were out of the door).
On the other hand we are now told that Borland had the resources to simply
create a C#Builder team from scratch, not encroaching or poaching from any
other team (and if a team had to be poached from to do C#B, it would have
been the Delphi team). Where were all these C#Builder guys before ?{*word*154}
around the parking lot ?

recall anyone ever claiming that Borland can only work on one thing at
a time.

developed for Octane anyway, and the Delphi compiler was probably not

Windows Forms designer for C# probably made the integration for Delphi
very simple.
Yes, it may have cost some time, but not nearly what others say it is,
especially since they couldn't do a lot as long as the Delphi compiler
was still being developed. But they had the C# compiler, and integrating
that was a good exercise for Delphi 8.

At BorCon Dave Fuller, and other Borland employees stated that there
would be a Delphi Win32 update. Playing with these rumors is just
spreading FUD.
