I don't deny this, but you were implying that they never added any value to the products they acquired, which is not true. I used TurboPascal from 3.0 to Borland Pasal 7.0, and Borland did an excellent job with the IDE, the debugger, the libraries etc. even if they did not originally write the underlying compiler themselves. I also used their C compilers from TurboC 2.0 to Borland C/C++ 4.something, and again, they did a very good job with the IDE, the debugging tools, the interface design tools etc., though it went downhill from 4.0 and on.
