After long waiting (much longer than Visual Studio 2005), the latest development tool from Borland is start it "Preview" version. I am so wondering what it has improved after the last release of Borland C++ Builder 6.xx. I manage to get the preview edition from my friend. It consists of 4 CDs.
I would like to see a “waalaa” from Borland after they has been “rest” for so many years. I took the CD (Disk 1) and insert into my DVD-ROM. The screen appear and shown a lot of items there. I click on the “Borland Developer Studio 2006”. Oooops… What a disappointed. It prompts me to install “dotnet Framework 1.1” and “dotnet Framework SDK 1.1”. WHAT!! WHAT!! After so long user has been waiting… and they still adapted to dotnet 1.1?
I know the dotnet Framework is officially release just a month ago. But it has been in the BETA nearly 2 years already. If Borland put the “BETA” framework 2.0 to the preview of Borland Developer Studio 2006, what’s wrong is it? The dotnet Framework 1.1 has long working well in the Delphi 2005 and the C# Builder 2005. I don’t know why Borland is so left behind to Microsoft technology. If they think Microsoft technology is a burden, then they should leave that product already and continue to focus on their own “brand” which is C++ Builder.
I don’t know is this part of it marketing strategy or what, but I think that Borland is start losing it trust to all their users especially the DELPHI user.
