I posted here a while ago on that subject, and the general concensus was.....buggered if we know. It would make sense to phase SE out of the picture, but in Australia at least, pricing of OWS is similar to Online 5 ( or was last time I looked ), whilst SE is pitched lower. How's OWS perform on a single processor Unix PC, with commodity hardware in it? You might not want to run Online 7 on that machine (performance as well as cost), and isn't OWS simply a "marketing restriction limited" Online 7? Bryan Tonnet batonnet@zeta.org.au
