News At IBM’s WebSphere

 

IBM is having a busy fall.  WebSphere Application Server 5 is shipping.  Express versions of WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Portal Server, designed for the mid-market, have been announced.  And IBM’s portal has been significantly enriched by a set of personal productivity components that look like (could it be?) a mini- office suite.  But IBM assures us that they’re intended purely for use within the portal, especially as piece parts to build applications.  We hope Sun is soothed to hear that, because we think quite a few big customers may look at IBM’s portal plus components strategy and decide that they don’t need Sun’s Linux Desktop after all.
