1) So? We love the AS/400, don't we?

2) Actually, technically speaking there is some support for ASP on Unix from
third parties

3) Just about everything in the world is proprietary once installed in
production. Try moving a websphere based app to BEA, or a BEA one to
websphere, or Tomcat for that matter and see how "open" those options are
too. <G>

Can you[1] write true, open, non-machine-specific programs, sure, will you,
no! Write an EJB w/o using any of the vendor extensions and then when the
users say, but it needs to go faster and you say, "Well, ok, but I'll need
to tie it to BEA" watch how fast management says, "So what, we want the
performance!"
