I don't get this. There is a major difference between: 1 - everyday client server, which (apart from links to a T1) is offline -- in other words, an ordinary office network; and 2 - the popular as yet unrealized vision of the future as wireless, with data storage and applications all on an internet server. I can see how in theory CTXS works in both #1 and #2 but I thought that all CTXS does now is #1, and for now only #1 is real (there is no business environment I know of that depends in a major way on, for example, on wireless-delivered java word processors, for example). In short, the vulnerability of the web to attack will delay #2 -- if #2 ever gets here -- preserving for years #1, where CTXS's market really is. The imminent failure of dot.coms (which you predict, which would not surprise me) also delays #2. - Charles
