I wonder how much of this was a result of the insane popularity of Reflector.

Good show either way

You feel proud? What would do you thought if you were still at CodeGear? Imho, your place is there, even if I must agree with Nick which posted this on b.p.delphi.non-technical:

Charlie is one of the nicest guys I've ever known, and a very, very

capable, smart guy.

I'm very happy to see that Charlie has found a place he really likes.

I was very surprised when he took the job at MS, knowing his previous

views on MS and on the Open Source movement.

What type of licensing will it ship with? I wonder if developers can derive new controls not through inheritance but by "forking" the code. I also wonder if it could be used (in any way) by the Mono project.

Knowing MS leanings and track record, I would be /very/ surprised if that were permitted. Regardless, it is a big step in the right direction.

Just to be clear about these issues: I fully support CodeGear and their efforts. I'm close friends with at least two people who still work there, and good friends with a number of other CodeGear employees. I exchange email, IM, see, or talk regularly (two or three times in the last week) with folks at CodeGear. I think it is great that they have an independent company, and I feel that this is a chance for them to fulfill some goals that many of us who like the company have, for many years, wanted to see happen.

One of my long term wishes came true when Nick Hodges was hired by Borland. Nick was always one of my absolute favorite members of the Delphi community, and I tried many times to talk him into coming to work for Borland. It was wonderful news when he joined the company, and I think he is doing a great job. He's smart, talented, hardworking, and everyone I know agrees that Nick is a wonderful person.

Finally, my coming to work at Microsoft was never meant as a repudiation of my close ties to CodeGear and the folks in the Delphi community. Here at Microsoft I’ve found a way that I can continue to work hard to support the developer community, which is one of my main goals in life. Nevertheless, I still regularly see other ex-Borlanders, and we all share a close bond because of our years in Scotts Valley.
