But the problem is - if Sybase, oracle, Informix, Microsoft port their s/w to
Linux than they may go OUT OF BUSINESS. What it means that US corporations had
accepted the "Made in Internet" products. There is another problem coming up -- european countries like Finland, Germany
and Sweden had developed or developing very good database s/w like SOLID Server,
 Adabas, YardSQL, MySQL for Linux and other unixes.

	MySQL - http://www.tcx.se
	Solid - http://www.solidtech.com
	Adabas - http://www.adabas.com
	YardSQL - http://www.yard.de/

It is "catch 22" for sybase, oracle, informix, Microsoft --- if they port their s/w to Linux
than they will be out of business or if they DO NOT port their s/w to LINUX even than they will
be out of business.

It will be a "database wars" between europe and USA. Imagine how much damage it
will cause to the US economy if Microsoft, Oracle,Informix, sybase completely go
down.

Now, US is forcefully controlling the world's software market. One option for
US is to ban the world-wide internet, and stop manufacturing high-speed computer
network equipments. That will protect US s/w companies.

Problem is - Ultimately "Made in Internet" products will win and emerge victorious. Received on Wed Feb 18 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
