Actually, NBMontgomery does not have coverage of INPR. The research piece does not mention INPR, so it is not unexpected that they were left out. If INPR gets results, they will become better known to the media and investors.

At the end of the day, I think Inprise has a very bright future. The real understanding of what client/server computing is (including the Internet "revolution") (and yes, I'm not always sure myself what that means) has not yet really been established yet. But some of the key components are: Java, CORBA and on the Enterprise side Enterprise Javabeans. I do think, in the long term, Inprise is on the right way. Short term, some of their moves have been negative. But there's no way any serious contenders could argue that distributed computing isn't among the hottest topics around, and that that Inprise isn't well positioned to take part of that. Unfortunately "application servers" serving Enterprise JavaBeans isn't making any money today, but I do believe that will be the next trend. I consider my investment in INPR be that belief (including knowledge of the quality of their previously released products). /Hans-Erik
