It is going to be a crowded market, this "application server" market. Everybody wants a piece of it.... exchange2000.com david

Another bandwagon-jumper. infoworld.com Quote: "Like so many software vendors these days, Forte is repositioning itself as an application-server vendor". I hope Borland has thought about developing a "sustaining value proposition", or at least a "sustaining competitive advantage" to allow themselves to be heard above the buzzword-noise. david

Intresting that not once, but twice, the article refers to Inprise as Inspire. "Now Inspire will sell Application Server under the new name.". Actually, I like Inspire. Maybe they are onto something. OR perhaps, their spell checker ran amok. Hey this would be a good opportunity for Del. Given the <yawn> reception that Inprise is getting, he could spin it like "We meant Inspire, but one of those marketing guys (you know how they can be) must have transposed a few letters." And then, we all will own shares of Inspire.
