Heeren: Excellent analysis. o Scalibility. A web-based solution scales better and has more options for scaling than Citrix. Call me a doubter. Scalability is the biggest problem for web based solutions. It's 2x the problem -- you needed the transaction servers to scale, and now you must also have your web servers scale as well. When web surfing in ssl mode, notice how everyone exposes their service architecture (you can tell by the not-so-neat looking hostname). This to maintain just a tiny bit of context (session key) over perhaps an LD and a server farm. Imagine maintaining much larger context. Another issue is reliability. How SI keeps goofing up on the status of my bookmarks. It has so much difficulty propagating updates through its server farm and the caches. I am sure web based solutions will improve over time. Also scalability may not be a problem for every potential client; there may be more pressing issues that you articulated very well. Regards Dinesh
