What it means that US corporations had accepted the "Made in Internet" products. There is another problem coming up -- european countries like Finland, Germany and Sweden had developed or developing very good database s/w like SOLID Server, Adabas, YardSQL, MySQL for Linux and other unixes. MySQL - http://www.tcx.se Solid - http://www.solidtech.com Adabas - http://www.adabas.com YardSQL - http://www.yard.de/ It is "catch 22" for sybase, oracle, informix, Microsoft --- if they port their s/w to Linux than they will be out of business or if they DO NOT port their s/w to LINUX even than they will be out of business. It will be a "database wars" between europe and USA. Imagine how much damage it will cause to the US economy if Microsoft, Oracle,Informix, sybase completely go down. Now, US is forcefully controlling the world's software market. One option for US is to ban the world-wide internet, and stop manufacturing high-speed computer network equipments. That will protect US s/w companies. Problem is - Ultimately "Made in Internet" products will win and emerge victorious.
