Maybe it can help a little, but no much, because I think Apache is by itself a recongnized and respected "brand" in the IT world. In some cases even more than MS: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html (this monthly survey say all). > Even if MS-Avalon is not covering the same aspect of Apache Avalon a lot > of people will find there way to Apache Avalon.

I agree, without worrying on any MS move. Best Regards, Antonio Gallardo
