What will happen to the IDE? 1

No sure if I understand this, but it would seem they are dropping Delphi, J Builder and C++, To bring in a set of (no doubt ridiculously expensive) environments based around Java and the M$ .net framework.
Java!!!!! I must have misunderstood this?
Ah well, I have a copy of D7 and until M$ bring out an OS that doesnt support W32 executables I will continue with that. (That might not be for too long I suppose)
Steve: Delphi a feersum engin indeed.

Steve, I don't understand your comment about Java. I think you have misunderstood it.
The letter seems to say that Borland are splitting off the IDE (Delphi, C++Builder, C#, JBuilder and so on) side of their business into a new company.
Whether this turns out to be a good thing for developers remains to be seen.
A smaller company may be more focussed and able to react to developer requirements quicker.
On the other hand they may be starved of cash for investing in developments.
It will be many, many years before Microsoft stops supporting Win32 executables in their operating systems. However, the vast majority of OS development will be focussed on .NET

I should note that there about 300+ posts on the borland newsgroups site about this topic.
It seems they want to split off all the dev tools from the main Borland company into another company. From what I gathered in those messages, there's a lot of dissension in Borland over whether to be a developer company or an applications company. It seems that they're ending the issue by splitting.

we have announced we are acquiring Segue Software"
Is Phillipe Kahn back again?
"Segue also shares Borland’s vision for an approach to quality that spans the entire software delivery lifecycle."
Say... not fixing bugs in the last version but releasing a new and expensive one (which will not fix some of them anyway).
Well... lets wait and see.

Yeah, that's the direction they're going instead of in the developer tools. I understand what they're trying to go for now is what is referred to as ALM software or "Applications Life Management".
I guess something along the lines of Microsoft Project but a lot more specific.

What is laughable is that the original Khan's Borland sank mainly for two reasons: lossing money with the applications they sold and burying money buying other companies.
They are going to make it all again. May be a lawsuit with M$ too.
