Here's a link to a post on the Apple Board by Dennis Sadowski, and a link for one provided in the Apple Post. It sounds like a really exciting situation, and I'm interested if any of you think that Borland would benefit from the Japanese funds. Sam The apple link: Message 3873874 The link from the Apple post which starts with the following paragraph: www1.sjmercury.com BY MICHAEL ZIELENZIGER Mercury News Tokyo Bureau TOKYO -- The Japanese people, the world's most prodigious savers, are about to put their $10 trillion portfolio -- fully one-third of the globe's savings -- under new management, and Wall Street and millions of investors may be among the biggest beneficiaries.

Well, I like the idea that the DOJ is going to slow down Microsoft's technological land-grab but the key to defeating Microsoft is making sure that they to not co-opt Java. In so doing we will have superior alternatives to 15-plus-year-old Windows architecture. Had Microsoft provided an interactive component architecture based on C++, not the 15-plus-year-old resource file B.S., then I might have held out hope for them. Microsoft is the only thing standing in the way of progress and that has to change. They will fail in their attempt to take their historical business appliance OS into devices and up to servers. They are less-than-honest about the problems facing NT but if they can get 90% of the small server market it won't matter.
