Stuart,

MQSeries is an IBM product.  MQ stands for "message-queueing".  I
believe it was developed at Hursley, near Winchester in England - a
site some of you are well familiar with.  As Anne has pointed out
they now preface MQSeries with the sub-brand WebSphere.  I am sure IBM
's website can fill you in on the details.

either transport or transfer, depending on whether the message embeds
operations or not.

I just don't think the terminological differences (while reasonable
and useful) are broadly established in the IT industry, though
perhaps I'm wrong.  The terms have in practice been used
interchangeably, in my experience.

differences in reliability, performance, available message exchange
