Just wanted to pass on an article about HP dropping the Bluestone app
server product.  This was anounced several months ago.  This is a followup
article of how things are going for the Bluestone customers.  I am pasting
one paragraph from the article.  Had it not been for the J2EE and .NET
references or the "not many" reference, I would have thought that this was
an article about the HP3000.

The misfire is that the current customers have been left hanging. HP
promises to make all things clear by Sept. 15 with a detailed migration
plan. That won’t be soon enough for the company’s enterprise customers and
developers. Granted, there couldn’t have been many of them, but they
deserved better than this. After all, rather than going with the more
popular J2EE solutions or giving .NET a try, they had elected to stick by
HP. HP’s moves have been annoying a lot of both HP’s and Compaq’s old
customers. This move doesn’t help.
