Turbo C# is available now.
I blogged about this 2 weeks ago. The install had been smooth (besides that I had to install .NET 1.1?!) and at look quite clean. The IDE cannot deny that is is made with .NET:

Well, Borland a little bit more work, even for a free product would have suited you better, the installer and the registration are so 90ty.

Perhaps it gets better in 100 years, when I have to register a new copy:-)

After some assembler (8080!), the first programming language I learned had been Turbo-Pascal. If I remember correctly; it could not have been Turbo, as I was 12 years old at that time and Turbo did not yet exist then - well it does matter that much - I definitely used Turbo-Pascal later.
Borland seemed to find the name “Turbo” not very professional, so they dropped it. As IDEs are now a commodity, the professional touch is gone and the Turbo is (nearly) back!
As C# has some appeal to me, it looks like I could use another creation of Anders Hjelsberg…
