It seems that much of the business world is heading toward selling software as a service, or, more importantly, making services available to local applications. Can Unix in general fit into this plan? Obviously Sun, IBM and others have alternatives to the Microsoft plan, but will open source be able to get involved? Does FreeBSD need to consider this, or is it a layer above the OS, like Java, XML, Perl, etc, which already exist? What about a Common Runtime Library for FreeBSD, so it can act as a .NET server, if and ONLY if the concept takes off? Jonathon -- Microsoft complaining about the source license used by Linux is like the event horizon calling the kettle black.
