NTAP and DAFS

Here is a great article laying out the importance of DAFs and current industry support:

I know Downsouth had a good inkling that this would be a gorilla market. It looks to me like if NTAP can pull this off it will be sitting pretty. But does all this a gorilla make?

Mike P.S.

Looks like I came around to your way of thinking regarding the Gorilla/Godzilla framework of GMST.

Tinker,

Godzilla oriented ad revenues

I disagree about that. It was made very clear months and months ago by John that the ad revenues are part and parcel to the licensing agreement because without the licensing agreement there are no ad revenues and vice versa. Inspired by DownSouth who told me to repeat three times that EMC is not a Gorilla, I advise you to repeat three times that Gemstar's ad revenues are that of a potential Gorilla, not a Godzilla. :)

Regarding BEAS market share, here is some new information:

Given that the entire existence of anything like a complete J2EE standard, although it is really still developing now, coincides with a period of completely peculiar market conditions, both on Wall Street and in company IT expenditures, how can we read very much into current market share figures for such a nascent market?
