Fast Powerful flexible Easy ( And we're great embed.)

So states ODIS' mailer to promote PSE Pro. It has a feature, "Just $145 Before Dec 15".

The presentation is excellent. The offer to compete in price is way overdue. This is effective advertising. It emphasizes Java version independence so does not get in between MSFT and Sun.

Good job, ODIS.

iMALL Deploys Object Design's ObjectStore for Enhanced Scalability, Performance in Largest On-Line Shopping Mall

Enhanced Site Rings Up Millions of Shoppers a Month as Retailers Continue to Set Up Shop


STUDIO CITY, Calif., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Object Design, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ODIS), the leading object database company, and iMALL(TM), Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: IIML), a leading provider of electronic commerce services and operator of the Internet's largest shopping mall, today announced that iMALL has deployed the Object Design(R) ObjectStore(R) data management system in its next-generation on-line shopping solution. ObjectStore, Object Design's flagship object database, is providing iMALL with a scalable, high-performance solution for storing and managing data for thousands of stores and
millions of products, shoppers, and orders. The iMALL site (http://www.imall.com) currently receives millions of shoppers every month.
"The popularity and growth of e-commerce is exploding as individual
retailers look to the Web as a distribution medium for incremental growth as opposed to building more brick and mortar locations," said Phillip Windley, chief technology officer at iMALL. "To take advantage of this trend and prepare for our company's projected growth, we knew we had to enhance our system with an industrial-strength database like ObjectStore to give us the
scalability, performance, and fault tolerance a site like ours requires.
Thanks to ObjectStore and our next-generation system, iMALL can now handle hundreds of thousands of retailers and tens of millions of inventory items."
iMALL's success at bringing on more than 1,600 retailers, as well as
several large brand name anchor stores, including FAO Schwarz, Hanes, and Barnes & Noble, compelled the company to upgrade its on-line shopping mall system. The enhanced system is a component-based, multitier architecture with ObjectStore caching retailer and product data in the middle tier for optimal performance and scalability. iMALL selected the ObjectStore database for its ability to directly store object and component data without requiring any data mapping or translation, and for its unique Cache-Forward(TM) distributed data-
caching architecture that delivers high performance and scalability in
multiuser environments.[...]

>>ODIS has the best technology. Citrix did too, and they seem to have made a lot of money by working with Microsoft and living to tell the tale.<<

Given that MSFT is under the microscope of the DOJ, most likely, they will not try to "stop all over" ODIS.
