New Heh, look at the magazine quote...
...by Peter Feldman, PC Week; in later days, Peter Coffee at PC Week -- now renamed e-Week -- has been very much gushing about Delphi.

Unless it's the same guy who changed his name, Borland has been very lucky with the Peters at that rag.

New Not bungled...
they were fucked by the Vole.

Go back into your history and read up on Shulman's Undocumented Windows. That will completely explain why Borland faltered.
