Opportunitistic Break-up Call from Borland Shareholder

I wonder if there is official comments from Borland...

There is no way you will see an "official response from Borland" on this.
The business world doesn't work that way. If you want rumor and innuendo,
watch a soap opera. If you want facts, read quarterly statements.

statements of individual shareholders. There is nothing to judge here as
true or false because these are only the *opinions* of a shareholder. In
this case it is a shareholder who has been trying for several years already
to take control of the company.

been mentioned already in several discussion threads, with a previous
link to the article you mentioned.
And there are many of us who would agree that this is an opportunistic
move on the part of Mr. Coates, who has been nothin' but trouble.

not that I expect an official reaction from Borland on the current
situation.

In case of Borland it might be sad to read the statement.... Post mortem.
This is free market. You better keep talking, or people think you are dead,
and sell your stocks.
Nobody expect "response to one shareholder", but it will be worth to know
what company does to fix situation.
Fuller resigned, new management keep silence...

If somebody will buy this poor company - this will be happy end.
The question is - who?
In worst case Borland will die slowly and painfully.
And articles like this will lead to the second case.
"Didier Largange" <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>writes

Borland Corp and Delphi Corp and shares issued to the current shareholders.
Plenty of companies do this when a merge doesn't work out. One day Time
Warner and AOL will go back to being two companies, and I think there a
large media company doing it in the US right now. It could also be sold to
another company interested in compilers (although none spring to mind), eg
Sybase, IBM, Microsoft, Sun or Apple (my money on Sun). I think the split
is the simplest option, although one of the two companies will then probably
be bought out (Borland by BEA) and the resulting company (probably Delphi)
will rename itself Borland.

shareholders nervous about the company, and it will make it difficult to
attract new investors because key people engage in outbursts like in the
article.
Borland really has no choice BUT to offer an IDE with its products,
considering that the main competition bundles IDEs with the compiler. What
is Visual Basic without its IDE? What is MS C# without Visual Studio?
Removing the IDE from Borland would make it harder to find selling points
for Delphi.
It would give away the market to MS and to Free Pascal. In my humble
opinion.
 

will drop down so significally (may be not immediately but in long term)
that it will easy target for any more or less big company looking for
appropriate technology. It just seems like company doen't have decent
management at all.
