Okay, you're not quite as bad as the Midrange News guys, but really,
introducing Windows into your mission critical business applications?
I'm not sure exactly *what* that is emanating from you, but it ain't a
warm glow <grin>.

Just the sweet smell of success or is that the lunch my daughter just
spilled on me. Either way I smell good. :-)
Sure Joe. Whatever you say. Take a poll of how many shops are using
Windows and I think your non-Windows argument goes out the Window(s).
Even Joe uses Windows. Puff, Puff.
I'm certainly not saying Windows doesn't have its issues, but so do OS's
such as "i". Can you say SLOOOOOW Java. Hopefully V6R1 helps solve some
of that.
It's very embarrassing when I have to tell customers to run their Java
apps on Windows because the "i" can't run them as fast. You might say
that causes a black "i" for "i".
No, you miss the point. EGL is based on CSP - a technology first
introduced in 1981, before Windows was a gleam in Steve Jobs' eye. <<
Can you say L.E.G.A.C.Y :-)
Magic 8-ball, Magic 8-ball which language will I be using in 2-3.
It might be EGL because it's based on CSP.
Windows, Windows where will you be. I'm not sure but I'll be using a
MAC or XP.
I've been reading childrens stories today....
Back to the Apache part of the conversation....Apache + .Net + "i" =
Good. Hey, two out of three ain't bad, Richard. :)

Yep, .Net and "i" are definitely good together.
On that we agree.
And if you add Apache, then you have the best three.....

I guess EGL fits in to supported, mainstream and mission critical.
Let's see. Industry standard - Java and JSF. Server independent -
Tomcat or WebSphere. UI independent - thin client, rich client, even
green screen if you need it. Interfaces with existing code. Creates
web services - SOAP or REST. Leverages true leading edge open source
technologies like Dojo.
Yeah, I consider that a better "future-proof" design for mission
critical systems than a band-aid technique using "open source" software
written by a company in Romania. But that's just me.
I guess if EGL is the culmination of 30 years of development it must
be legacy already. I know you are sold on it, but I think XP has
definitely been around longer than EGL. Not Vista though. They are
probably the same age.
No, you miss the point. EGL is based on CSP - a technology first
introduced in 1981, before Windows was a gleam in Steve Jobs' eye. But
unlike Windows, which continues to creak along taking other ideas and
then "Microsofting" them, making them proprietary to Windows but not
really adding anything of value (wow, that's pretty much a capsule
definition of Vista!), EGL shows how software *should* evolve, from a
pure host-based COBOL generator through a Windows-based client/server
tool to an Eclipse-based IDE that generates industry-standard code.
