Is it true that MSFT actually paid TDM to port this software to NT? A rhetorical question. TDM says that 90% of stock transactions, 2/3 of credit card transactions, and 80% ATM transactions use TDM servers. How can a company have an installed base like this and not make a lot more money than they do (eg nothing totol in 1990 decade)? Wouldn't you think that someone else maybe could leverage this asset of such an installed base and make a lot more money with it? Someone like IBM maybe? I think MSFT will be pitching their Transaction Server product against the NonStop product (uses TUXEDO, right?).
