Borland will someday be a textbook example for MBA students on how not to manage a company. They had a huge technology lead, market dominating products and in less than a decade they completely blew it.
And while the company that bought the remains is known for it's COBOL products, I doubt that they had a "Turbo COBOL" compiler in mind with this purchase. Fare thee well, Borland, and thanks for the memories.
Micro Focus has bought Borland for $67m and is also buying the application testing business of Compuware.
