A wide-ranging interview in three parts...

Borland recently announced details of its new programming suite, the Borland Developer Studio, which includes the C++, C# and Delphi languages and targets both the Win32 and .NET platforms. Is this a credible alternative to Microsoft's Visual Studio? Why isn't Borland's JBuilder for Java integrated into this product and why does the C++ compiler only target Win32?
