Unsure on this one.

I don't fault them on testing the latest version they could obtain at the
time. If they tried to retest every version, service pack, and bug fix for
all five EJB vendors, they would have never been able to publish. Perhaps a
follow up of some kind would be best.

While their choice of hardware might have artificially limited an EJB server
(possible), they ran all of the EJB servers on the same hardware. I think
the tests would have been very similar (or identical) to each other if
bigger hardware were used for all.

That's definitely a plus for Gemstone.

Come on Frank, you went to Gemstone's intensive bootcamp for what, a week or
two?
Oh, and Frank, if you are gonna reply to me, at least CC me. I sit all of 75
feet from you. Stop by if you want to continue the discussion, as I think
everyone else has tired of it.
