That's an interesting question. The investor story is not good - they
recently terminated their CEO/President and CFO, restated a year of
earnings (which put them in the red), and reduced their heacount from
132 to 106. Their stock, which was trading ~$20 this time last year, is
now at $0.31. New Atlanta backed out of their stock-based acquisition
arrangement, although Unify is still bundling ServletExec. It looks
bleak.
How is their EJB 2.0 support? I'm guessing that quite a few J2EE
providers are going to be shaken out in this transition. There's no way
a market will continue to support thirty people selling the same thing.
