One area which will help to cement Sun's hold on large accounts would be a solid middleware framework.

Apparently Sun feels the same way ... they bought Forte! Forte's SynerJ (FJEE) product is the only real full implementation of J2EE going at this point and don't hold your breath for others catching up any time soon. There are other AppServers which are going to be the closest of anything, but then the FJEE AppServer is being merged into the iPlanet iAS anyway. The development piece has a lot of features elsewhere undreampt of such as container managed persistence. But, the huge advantage is in the Assembler that one uses to containerize and partition the application. This is a straight transfer of well developed Forte partitioning technology where they are way ahead of anyone in any language.

And, if you like Java, but you actually have to deploy a high performance application in the short term, then just write the server piece in TOOL instead and cut 50-65% of the development time and pick up 2-3X in performance.

Oh, and for all those legacy applications that need to get connected to the new e-Biz front end, for that you use Fusion, the EAI product that has already outsold the supposedly hot competition like Active and Vitria in the first 9 months of its existence.

Sun now has all the pieces.
