He might be a senior developer with a voice in management circles but he is
still just one developer.
In a year he might be working with Microsoft or Oracle if the
money and opportunity is right.
We have all seen how much loyalty the current Borland staff have to Borland.
If you plan to commit your business or life to Kylix based on what Danny,
you have large silicaceous objects in the cranium.

other.

Why don't you open source Delphi/Kylix? You can use a combination of the
MySQL and Red Hat business models. I'm talking about selling "Enterprise"
versions and support services. Delphi/Kylix have serious quality control
issues not to mention stagnated development. I've been following Borland
since around D4. Things haven't really gotten any better.
With open source, bugs are found, fixes are incorporated into the code base
and evolution occurs. We aren't seeing any evolution of Delphi/Kylix.
Stuff goes into CodeCentral just sits there and rots away unnoticed. Eager
Borland customers who donated their time to find and fix the bugs get
frustrated and go somewhere else. Take the "7.1" service pack you guys just
released. How many years did that take? From what I've seen on these
newsgroups, the service pack created more problems then solved. Imagine
where we would be right now if D7 was open source.

have tested Lazarus last time (must be half a month ago) it was not as
stable as Kylix. And this sentence says a lot (but keep in mind that it
was half a month ago).
