Thomas -
One area which will help to cement Sun's hold on large accounts would be a solid middleware framework. I am not as knowledgeable as I ought to be on current plans... EJB as a basis for that framework seems to have gotten traction in the last year and seems to me to be poised for wide acceptance over the next year or two, but IBM's "WebCenter" ideas seem to have as much traction as anything. Sun, which created and drove the basic concepts, needs to maintain thought leadership in that space both with developers and customers.

Can you help me understand how this will evolve, and perhaps how Sun will use a comprehensive middleware strategy both to maintain architectural dominance in existing accounts and expand their reach through more effective distributed systems?

I think that will be important if Sun is to maintain its current growth, and much of the probably overly verbose stuff I have been posting was leading to that question.
