Computer Associates is rarely mentioned as a potential suitor. Anyone with any opinions on how BORL fits into their strategy?

Looks like my Apr 10's expire worthless. 1/8 is hardly worth the trouble of selling. I'd net maybe $50.

infoworld.com Sounds like Borland will not licence the Integrated Transaction Service as liberally as the VisiBroker ORB. From what I read, the implementation of a transaction monitor is no less complicated or sizeable than a CORBA implementation. While there are a few freeware ORB, I am aware of no such thing for Transaction service. infoworld.com Leveraging this brand new Transaction Service will be their Object Application Server. As per the article, it implements the 3 emerging server-side standards : CORBA, Enterprise JavaBeans, Microsoft Transaction Server. The beauty of it is that being mostly java (my expectation) then it can readily be deployed on UNIX, NT and even the various IBM platforms having a JVM. techweb.com We will learn all this with more details on April 29. CORBA, Transaction Monitor and Application Server are major infrastructure pieces for enterprise systems and the shift to web-based business (web-banking, web-reservations, web-shopping, etc..) will only increase the necessity of these expensive pieces for scalability and reliability. This bodes well for the New Borland.
