Roger, that's exactly what I meant to say. ;) I think that the applications that will work well on Winframe are the typical client-server transactional applications. Say, you've got a phone representative with a tube in front of them. Every 5 minutes or so, they plink a few keys to bring up a customer record. The server doesn't have to do a whole lot, probably passing-off the database request to a dedicated database server. The per-user load in this type of application is quite low. And, as Roger says, the existence of a market big enough to keep CTXS growing is debatable. I think it hinges on the acceptance of Winterms. If Microsoft does get their act together on remote administration, it may be moot. I am already seeing companies abandon Java strategies, and expect more of that. The question is where do they go after abandoning Java? Back to Windows-based client-server, or to server-based web applications? XML provides yet another alternative (which can involve Java or not) which could be "the answer" or another blind alley. Winframe provides ONE alternative which has the advantage of not requiring companies to step out onto a unknown ledge.
