It Finally Happened

It was announced yesterday that Embarcadero will acquire CodeGear from Borland. Details about the announcement are already over the net, here, here, and here for starters, so I will not recap the details.

I have been saying for a long time that CodeGear needs to separate from Borland, and now it is finally going to happen. I'm excited to see what will happen next. Embarcadero seems like a fine suitor for CodeGear. I just hope small software companies, aka microISV, without a focus on databases, such as White Peak Software, are not forgotten about.

Update: Michael Swindell of CodeGear says CodeGear will still be the go to company ISV and microISV. This is good to hear.
