rude: Do you have any thoughts or knowledge concerning the new strategy Eric Schmidt is taking with Novell. I'm not that tech literate but I sence that he's on the same page and trying to outsmart MSFT once again, but using a much softer strategy......I would love to hear your thoughts on this. I know that CPQ is one of their partners but not sure how strong that relationship is. Is CPQ just hedging where Novl is concerned.... txs. mike

Rude, Hmmm... "object technology, middleware, and common APIs"... this could lead to single machines being replaced by multiple different type machines all linked with each handling the native routine calls ala a parallel processing set up where some intelligence handles the distribution and collective integration. Sounds like plenty of speed, all the current diversity with integration by the fastest/best-est processor. I struggled with UCSD PASCAL on the AppleII and learned early about doggie p-code. Amazing how they keep trying to make it faster when it is always going to be much slower than native code. Doug
