I hope you're right. JBridge in theory offers an administrative nirvana. Centralized administration of the most commonly used applications without having to install any software on the client. How I usually see similar products (MS Terminal Server, Citrix, etc) being used in the real world is for folks using high-powered unix workstations for CAD, Engineering, and Graphics applications, but still need access to either MS Office apps or to a proprietary groupware solution that doesn't support their unix platform. You also see it used for software developers who use unix-based CASE tools. I'd like to see it being used more for general-purpose clients moving towards a GNU/Linux solution. Although most apps could find Free software replacements, there will always be that one 'show-stopper, must-have' application that only runs on Windows. This would allow companies to use JBridge as a crutch until they can eliminate their dependency on the offending Windows app. Of course I was initially looking at Go-Joe as research towards a possible First-Unity investment. I will try to warn you if I invest so that you can pull your money out before the inevitable plummet. ;) -Mitch (the jinx)
