-----Original Message----- From: Nathan M. Andelin [mailto:nandelin@RELATIONAL-DATA.COM] >The high-level competition between IBM and Microsoft is based on a standards >vs. proprietary value proposition. But what if the steam behind that >argument were to eventually evaporate. Um, what? Neither IBM or Microsoft want to use any standards than their own. Remember, Microsoft originally took Java out of XP because Sun sued them, and won, over Microsoft's non standard (read proprietary) modifications of Java. And IBM has DB2 and RPG. I think it's a matter of neither wanting to play in the other's park, although IBM is coming along. Regards, Jim Langston
