I corrected a couple of overly strong statements. Accuse me of
obsession with details and English grammar, but please don't accuse me
of something I have not done.

Alisdair,
If they are committed to a BCB v9 release they could just tell us. I don't know what
it means to work on matters. Either they know they are going to do it or they are
uncertain or they do not know.
Is there a planning exercise going on where lower level managers try to prove to
higher level managers that there is a business case for a BCB v9? If so, then those
lower level managers are in the asme position we are in trying to convince the
decision makers to bring BCB back to life and BCB is still dead.

Pretty unethical to spread the rumour that BCB 9 might emerge

According to Borland BCB is dead.

After much cogitation, alisdair.meredith@no-spam-splease says...
are moving to other products is the reason there are no products, rather
than Borland's unbelievable incompetence in the handling of a product.
I know you weren't intending to blame the customers, but after all of
the other apologists that have been here, it starts to sound that way.

CBX being effectively dead. He's not denying that
BCB was end-of-lifed. I'm sure he knows that as well
as we do.

Clearly the second open letter announced the end of BCB as we know it.
The exact quote was, "Borland intends to continue all future C++ product
offerings with the new C++BuilderX IDE." So you're right, I don't deny
that BCB was end of lifed.
On the other hand, I think there is some question as to whether it might
be getting resurrected. At the very least we have hints from Robert E.
and Anders Ohlsson and maybe from Danny Thorpe too (though my
recollection is that Danny's comments didn't really address this
specific question). So although there are plenty of reasons to be
skeptical, I think there are also reasons to be optimistic.
Only time will tell. Hopefully it won't be too much more time.
