>No they don't. Borland is just building an IDE (At least talking about C# Builder). It uses the .Net framework and it's compilers to create apps... so, as soon as .Net 2.0 comes out, you will be able to build 2.0 apps with Borland C# builder.

So, what you're saying is the IDE will know which version of .NET is the later versio on your system and use that? That's ok, but how will it know what new features to take advantage of? If it can use the new compiler, you can write code that uses it, but how about IDE features? You'll have to wait for them.

I agree with you there. When I had to buy Borland C++ Builder last year I was shocked at the price.
