Hi Karen,

Thanks for your comments about Inprise and Java. It's great to have such a knowledgable person as you posting here. I hope that you like SI enough to eventually remove the "Trial member" tag from you name and become a regular poster.

Did you recently invest in Inprise or do you just routinely monitor these threads? You mentioned, briefly, in your post that Inprise seems well positioned. Could you embellish some, perhaps in a discussion of the relative positioning of Inprise, Iona, and BEA? Also, can you comment on the industry's view of Inprise's entry into the transaction service and application server markets? I have read words such as "highly anticipated" and "exciting" used, by presumably unbiased reporters, in connection with ITS. Can you comment?

Finally, Inprise's advantage seemingly is that they can fully integrate middleware with tools. Is this likely to give them much of a competitive edge if they do it successfully?

TIA
