Well, it seems that the overriding concensus (and I totally agree) is that
we all do not care who or what wins, but we want someone to now.

IS ANYONE AT UI, OSF, etc. CENTRAL LISTENING !!!

Frankly, I have had it.  These vendor wars have stiffled the community under
the guise of forwarding it.  If anyone says "OPEN SYSTEM" to me again, I will
puke (preferrably on the person).

The problem is that our manager's are BUYING the propoganda (and the products).
You should see the propoganda flowing around here generated by various manager
level types.  The vendors have really hoodwinked them into believing that they
(the managers) are technically savy and are contributing to the consolidation
of the software industry by committing to their product.  What garbage.
