My concern is that Allaire may decide to bundle servlet/jsp
with their products, much like what other application server
vendors do. If you only want serlvet/jsp engine for IIS and Netscape,
then SE may become the only choice. (Of course, it would be
a different story if MS/NS decide to support servlet/jsp right out of
the box.)
Now, Sun's interest is in spreading servlet/jsp technology,
which I think is slightly different from Allaire or SE. That is
why I think Sun is a better entity to ensure just that, rather
than the market. With only two players, it wasn't much of a market
anyway.
