My 3/30 Infoweek arrived today in a plastic bag, with a note from the Post Office that they are sorry for its condition, but assume that somewhere in the mail processing system a dog ate half of the mag. Anyways, as all of you probably already know, since you've read this before me, rumors continue about PSFT merging with VNTV. I am not sure that a merger is necessary, since it appears that all of VNTV's software components are being merged into PSFT's framework as objects. If a customer chooses a VNTV component as a part of a PSFT purchase deal I am sure that both PSFT and VNTV will get their fair sales share. If PSFT were to acguire VNTV, then let's keep it clean and simple, my quess would be a one for one stock swap, as of today.
