>msft=.net, orcl=ebusiness suite, sunw=sunw one, ibm=mishmash. so what are you talking about?< What do any of these things mean? They're just marketing. Anyway, ibm is doing better than Sun in Java. Visual Age and Websphere are far more popular than Sun one, so much so that Sun decided to give their software away to compete. I can tell you as a developer that once you chose a server you don't want to flip to another one. Nobody uses .net yet. BEA is also bigger than Sun in server software. Java seems to be here to stay, but it's pretty sad Sun can't even dominate it, although it does make it more likely IBM would buy Sun or Sun buying BEA.
