Do moves like these have anything to say about the viability of Visigenic's partners now that the technology is being bid for by a tools company ???? fyi, let me get this straight. Are you saying that Netscape and Oracle made their moves only after Borland announced that it intended to buy Visigenic and because they had no desire to license products from Visigenic through Borland?

I was at Kivasoft for a week in September, trying to integrate/use their software with application software for a client. And I watched their four video-tape training series. From what I know, I do not see any threat to VisiBroker business. It only legitimizes enterprise-wide application development. I dont know much about Oracle's efforts. However, the Visibroker segement of the business will be (if not already) a commodity. I am assuming that Borland already knows about this, and the purchase is geared towards becoming an instant front runner and also to get some fresh talent (from Visigenic). Bipin Prasad
