Right. I see a hetrogeneous environment, mainframes, LANs, CORBA, client-server, Java, and browsers - all of which will become a big management headache. Your point is................what? Are you saying that because there are multiple platforms in an organization, that yes are difficult to manage, that no one is going to buy the new enterprise software products coming out of all these companies? For example.... Intel just bought Ariba, didn't they? Well check out the Ariba architecture (hint: its Java). Now since they bought it today, it probably runs on unix but next year? They will probably sell more on NT. Ariba even uses the (poor) msft sql server that exists currently because they KNEW when they built the product that the NT/msft sql server would become the default std for enterprise apps. Michelle
