Good question... the answer (IMHO) is a resounding YES! The Directory will have a large impact on anything networked. It will change the way networks interact with devices, end-users and software. I know that's a broad statement but I can't even stop imagining ways to leverage a directory in terms of what my responsibilities are at work. We can point to many current products used today and ask, "How can this be improved via the directory?" We can also look at things tried in the past that did not work and as the same question (such as privacy issues). I don't even know enough to guess at things in the future but suffice it to say there is no limit on our imagination so... If NOVL can position NDS as the industry standard or in the least, the standard could be derived from NDS's , then NOVL will be in a rather good position. But getting back to your question, I think these companies have already seen what NDS can do for their products and the success of NDS will bolster their product's success and vice versa. These companies can hurdle the obstacle of getting their devices to work harmoniously with other devices from different vendors on the same network. That will go a LONG way in some companies buying decisions. Let's face it, some companies have already made a large investment in their network hardware. If they can add a specialized device for a specific need without throwing the baby out with the bath water, they will buy that product much more easily than in the past. In that sense, NDS makes life easier for companies like Cisco, Lucent, Nortel, Ascend, etc.... Peter Strifas
