Thanks for the explanations.

Just a couple of areas that are still a little unclear.

The only other option is to purchase a three-tier development tool which can use the middleware

What would be an example of such a three-tier development tool? I would have thought this would be a very attractive market segment, given the market penetration of TP Monitors.

MTS on the other hand .... is extremely easy to develop with - they make use of VisualBasic. This makes MTS an attractive choice

From a desktop programmer's perspective, yes I can see your point. But I've often heard that VB produces unacceptably long path lengths for transaction processing, due to its origins as a GUI builder. Does Delphi somehow escape this drawback?

If InPrise is able to offer this ease of development, and keep loyal developers, they have a good story and a compelling offering.

This is the piece I was questioning before. What is it that actually produces the ease of development from an enterprise perspective, as opposed to the desktop perspective that is Inprise's history?
