Borland Eclipsed on Linux

Since its creation, Borland's mission has been to develop and market high-performance application software. Founded in 1983, two years after IBM launched its first PC based on Microsoft's 16-bit MS-DOS 1.0 operating system, Borland largely delivered on its mission with milestones such as Turbo Pascal, Delphi, JBuilder and Kylix.
The company has ensconced itself against Microsoft in Windows, eking out a firm number-two position among developers for its Delphi environment. Borland has also seen-off Java tools vendors large and small, to build a dominant 40percent market share for JBuilder. Now, though, the company is gearing up for a fresh battle - on Linux. The company is preparing to take its talents for Rapid Application Development (RAD) developed in Windows and Java to the open source platform. Borland plans a version of its C++Builder tools for Linux. The fruits are ripe: a virgin market, free of major competitors.
