Rob - Re: "But my point about 8 year lead is Galaxy is the cat's meow. The shared disk paradigm got a tweek and became a shared memory paradigm and are just on the edge of releasing grand features that will be a long time in being matched by other OSes. Tremendously difficult to tweek a kernel to do these things. Requires "brain surgery" as one of the patent holders described it.. i.e. 95% of the code was already in VMS but the addition and verification of the other 5% took over 2 years (I believe)..." The elegance and power of this OS can't be underestimated. However, you must ask yourself - what market forces are responsible for this OS (Galaxy/VMS) NOT garnering significant market share over the years? Maybe others have figured out that they can deploy a ton of "industry standard" servers far cheaper than the ELEGANT solution, and come up with an acceptable performance. Industry Standard solutions - high volumes - economies of scale - that's where the growth is. Paul
