信中重要的几段摘抄：
Likely Result of BCB Abandonment

There is a growing concern that if Borland sidelines a popular and key product like C++Builder, a likely consequence is that developers and sponsors will end up sidelining Borland. Apparently, this growing sentiment among Borland users includes not only C++Builder and Kylix users, but also users of other popular Borland tools including Delphi and JBuilder. Their concern is in regards to Borland’s overall commitment to its users and their products. If a popular program like C++Builder folds, developers using other Borland products will inevitably begin to question the investment that they have made, and begin to consider migrating to other, more viable options.

We close with a reminder of statements made by Borland’s CEO Dale Fuller, which he shared at the recent 2004 Borland Developer’s Conference (BorCon) in San Jose, California. In his keynote and throughout the week he emphasized that since its infancy, Borland has and will continue to “never abandon the developers”.
He added, the “past is really our future.” We hope that this is true, for there is no greater time than this for Borland to live by and measure up to these words.

We look forward to hearing a favorable decision on or before December 15th, 2004. Thank you.
