Bob, this bit was interesting:

The new version of ObjectStore 6.0 for Linux i386 builds on Object Design's ObjectStore product heritage. It is available immediately and is priced from $50,000 for an ObjectStore jump-start program. ObjectStore 6.0 for Linux i386 runs on the latest Linux kernels (2.3 and 2.4) on Intel 32-bit systems and includes both C++ and Java interfaces.

Before that. there had been a heading saying:

Data management at an all time low price/high-performance point

This leaves me a bit mystified. Fifty thousand US dollars is a very high entry price. What is included in the "jump start program"?

From the perspective of a software developer, I can grab the phone and get a copy of Microsoft SQL Server delivered to my office the next day for something like one thousand US dollars (or maybe less -- and in any event Microsoft gave me a free beta test version along with Microsoft Systems Journal that costs me a couple of hundred bucks).

I cannot see how this is going to encourage people to consider the idea of experimenting with ObjectStore. People expect stuff to be cheap on Linux.
