When I worked there, 2.5 years ago, they developed CaliberRM, a requirement tool for software development. Windows and C++... they also had support for a bunch of their tools, Silk, for example... they only occupied the top two floors of that building at the time, probably less now (since they laid people off). <br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It's funny to me to read
"Borland" and "smart" in the same sentence. At the
time, they brought an entire dev team from Russia
to Atlanta -
only to lay everybody off a month or two later. Saw it with my own two
eyes.<br>

they bought dBaseII way back when and already owned Paradox. They’d just
issue updates to both products so they were exactly alike. Doing it this
way just annoys your install base who say to themselves: “If I’ve got to
migrate why migrate to something these putzes make – might as well do something
else.” Then again many vendors will create a “migration path” before
dumping stuff.</span></font></p>

Oracle VM and that both were based on Xen.</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Since I never heard of Virtual Iron before I can’t say much
about it. If it was Open Source then they can only quit supporting it
themselves without killing it. However, I wonder if the reason it
is being killed isn’t because no one ever heard of it and it had an uphill
battle against VMWare, Xen and other options.</span></font></p>

</span></font>This thread was started by Jim posting old news about Oracle
buying Virtual Iron. It turned out that within a month of buying them, Oracle
fired almost everyone and discontinued the project. It seems like a rather
expensive way to get more customers for your own product.<br>
<br>
I am pretty curious to see what happens in the Sun xVM v Oracle VM fight.<br>

All the best,<br>
