IBM will sell NCD's Java Box and BDLS's WBTs. While I think this is a great opportunity lost for NCD, we don't know the details of the agreement. This may also indicate that IBM thinks the market is big enough to require multiple, competing vendors. Hope this recovers ... I was expecting an upturn today from all the news.

re: IBM and Boundless I must admit that I was quite surprised when I read this post. I did a little background checking, and I think the facts are quite different. First, the announcement came from Boundless, not IBM. Big difference. Second, if you read it carefully you won't find any reference to IBM selling Boundless products. The announcement is a very carefully worded announcement of a rather generic marketing promotion. IBM's Netfinity group is 'endorsing' a variety of WBT's, (NCD's included), and helping sponsor the various vendors into their VAR channel. We all have exactly the same opportunity to go promote ourselves and our products into the IBM channels. I hope this helps.
