Talent is the limiting factor. Linux/Java everyone needs and wants it, Corel has it, NVDC and INPR are the two biggest JAVA Developers, that also why PERL, ANDN, RHAT, LNUX are hot....this is SUNW (SunMicro Systems) well thought out battle plans, including NOVL (they also use to own wordperfect before selling it to Corel CORL). But they all need the programming and computer talent to make it happen and there isn't any. Can we throw money at it to make it happen....well we have been, and its been happening pretty good, I think its working, but there will only be a few of these companies that have the talent and that will continue to have the talent to make this all keep workin to the next stage...like network appliances and gadget like NTAP and IDTC and NTOP and the cellphone companies and Nortel NT etc., but do not count MSFT or GNET or HSAC or CHTR out, they are building the INTERNET 2 Superhighway to bring all this bandwidth together...going to be lots of intresting news, competition, wars, battles and roll outs...stay tuned....this really is bigger and better than the industrial revolution. Corel figures in very good company. I am, Truly your$, -Crystal Ball |
