Microsoft rules on the desktop, but not on the server. Microsoft alone
cannot
provide more confidence to enterprise clients than IBM+Oracle+BEA+Sun+etc
combined in server products: databases, transaction monitors, MOMs etc.
If a company goes with COM+ it chooses a single vendor and a single
operating system. Witness Windows 2000 delays. If it chooses EJB the
company can pick and choose OS, appserver, machine, etc and run
anything using NT, AS400, UNIX, even OS390.
Bill Gates and Hitler (pardon me for the comparison) cannot win
alone against the whole world.
