This pretty much seems to be the same situation now at least for BCB. We
don't need ALM and all this stuff, all we need is a *$&/*&%$ new version of
the C++ Compiler we've invested thousands of dollars into!
I think it's time for a change, Borland urgently needs a new management. I
think instead of writing open letters to Borland management, we should make
an open letter to the Borland shareholders and explain them why it would be
good for Borland to receive a new management and why they would be making
more profit by not cutting down their long years customers.
Cheers,

If i'm correct, it was part of the plan to send the open letter to some
shareholders as well.

Probably they dont need the Open Letter (assuming they are checking NASDAQ):

That page is misleading. It measures volatility but calls it risk.
Volatility is not risk.
Perhaps you should avoid other shabby companies as well. For example
Merck Pharmeceutical.
http://www.nasdaq.com/services/riskMetrics.stm?&tickers=MRK
If you are investing and think 'volatility' equals 'risk' your
experience will probably be that you either experience very poor
yields or loose heavily.
