- I think that you're either 100% sold on Microsoft already, or trying to start
- another useless argument.
-
- I don't particularly care who makes the tool or what language it calls itself,
- or what any magazine columnist thinks about it. I care about how productive I
- can be when working with that tool, because to me time is money and there is
- never enough of it. Delphi has made significant advances in productivity that
- will certainly be emulated by Microsoft and by Borland's own teams. Meanwhile
- I'm taking advantage of what they've done.
