The arrangement is for distributed computing. You would have a web server, some middleware ex. Jboss or websphere application server and finally Vista all running on computers, now these services can be running on the same machine or separate ones. The web request gets accepted by the apache webserver and the request gets sent to the middle ware that then gets the info from vista which returns that information to you through apache. There are other players as well of course.

Medsphere has certainly put money into the development of this technology. And I will understand if they want a return on that investment. Is there any way that we could develop equivalent technology in an opensource fashion? I don't understand the arrangement he described.
