Windows 2000 seems to me to be missing, too.:-)
But I agree that MPE belongs on that page.

I think this is a bit harsh.  MPE software is represented a good
deal around the links of the pages and shows up in many of the "right"
places, but not all. Particular visible are the new things, like Java
and WebWise.

For example, one might think the only software development tools
available for MPE is Java!

One obvious problem is that HP is pitching it's own (the ones it
sells) solutions, whereas many CSY solutions are independent 3rd
party provided, such as middleware.  Seems to me that there should
be links to MPE solutions that include 3rd parties (and HP-UX ones,
too), even if discussion of these isn't included in any detail.
