Redman and Thread- I read more details of the GOJO-HWP agreement this AM. But was unable to post on SI because SI is terrible today? At least it's terrible for me. Anyway this is a deal that CTXS would probably liked to have made too. I'm almost certain it was a decision based on price and GOJO more than likely cut HWP a better deal. BUT it makes sense for HWP to use the less expensive option in this case because this particular solution, doesn't need to scale. It is very much what thin-client computing is about, but the difference in this case, is the particular type of client is very limited. Only administrative professionals will be hitting the server farm to do their jobs- remotely over the Internet. In other words, this particular solution does not have to scale to an entire organization. It's only for IT professionals within the organization, that will access the servers via thin-client technology. This is my interpretation of the deal. But I know there are very few investors who understand it. I'm assumming most think GOJO scored a substantial deal with HWP. But in reality, it's a deal probably limited by GOJO's ability to scale to the level of an IT department. If anyone thinks my read is wrong, please correct me. -MikeM(From Florida) ********************** HP ServiceControl Manager, introduced today, is a suite of high-powered management tools for multiple HP-UX based HP 9000 servers.
