Addi, you wrote: Meanwhile I for one continue to have my order to buy SUNW at $37.75 open which may or may not be executed this week. However at this time this is what I believe would be a fair and bargain price value to pay for SUNW. How can something be a fair value and a bargain at the same time ? Also, performance is certainly required for success, but there are enough examples in the real world where decisions factor trade-offs between price, performance and functionality. Windows NT takes a good 3 -4 minutes to start on my machine (a Pentium). MSFT, with a cheap product lacking performance (an a lot of the functionality of Solaris) has made inroads into the corporate workstation market. For Java to deliver on its potential, performace is only one of may attributes that it will be judged on. In my opinion it is close to the stage in performance terms where functionality / inter-operability/ price advantages will tilt business decisions in its favor. I don't think many IT managers are expecting Java to ever approach the performance of native, system-specific applications. What may further accelerate the acceptance of Java is cheap memory and higher transmission speeds (expanding bandwidth). Alok
