Hi InSook

What a day it was, today. After waves of panic that marked two lows, there was consolidation. A little shake out toward the close, but it closed on a good up-tick.

It looks like the price has found a stable point at 12 1/2. With some more consolidation, we will be edging up from here.

All this is IMHO, of course.

Go INPR ...

Ghassan.

To all: one of the questions that I have relates to MSFTs investment in INPR. What I am hearing is that Windows 2000 rocks. From my perspective, I believe we have a horse race, and its certainly not assured that Linux will be the ultimate winner, despite the valuations presently being given to companies in this section.

What I have been wondering is what ORB/Transaction Monitor technology is going to be deployed on Windows 2000? Given that MSFT can't play in the JAVA world, is it possible they are going to use INPR as a proxy to make this technology available on Windows 2000?

TIA for any input. bp

You said "The difference now is that INPR has cash"

My point was that INPR got a load of cash many months ago.
Cash alone is not what is propelling INPR this week or last week. It's the market cycling into small caps, Linux and the perceived loosening of the death grip by MSFT. All the recent activity has been fanned by hype into a maelstrom. INPR has not caught fire yet, IMO it's smoldering. A big announcement will start the real fire.
