I started with version 1.0. Such an incredibly elegant language. I choose it not to feed the Microsoft Monopoly, but in the end, and after the most incredible f*ck ups by Borland, VB won. I used D7 for many years. Now I use it only as a hoby language.

What do you mean Microsoft bought it? IT was never bought by MS.

I think he means that Microsoft bought his own startup whose product was written in Delphi.

I think "it" is the startup, not Delphi.

Microsoft did snipe some of the key people at Borland who created Delphi to get from VB4 to VB6.
