In article <01bc54a0$39763540$cbc3f326@mantis>, mcgovej@commandsys.com says... >I have heard from an insider that Microsoft is planning on purchasing >Informix and will be making their final decision on friday. I will post >information here, when I learn more... Haha. I think. Actually, it would probably be a good fit - Microsoft with bonzo desktop PC tools, but still without a clue about big databases; Informix with bonzo big database experience without a clue about the PC desktop. Mix an MS environment with Informix. It could work. Actually, this is one pretty ridiculous rumor I'd love to see come true. -- William Harris
