Well, they aren't going to mention all 50 and the company isn't relying on the application server for its future: a buyout buy from Rational Systems. A lot of those companies listed use Visigenics middleware and INPR tools but that's not the sort of thing that gets out with the zeros at INPR marketing. Check out RATL's acquisition of Rogue Wave and start asking yourself where INPR was on the components front: asleep at the wheel, of course. Still, that's nickel and dime stuff compared to what RATL could do with INPR tools, or anybody but INPR for that matter. I'm pretty confident RATL is now in the process of putting together a bid for the company so it might be worth nibbling down here. The bad news is that if INPR can screw it up, they will. Let's hope it's an idiot-proof deal.
