I'm sorry I have to strongly disagree here.
I've been using Orion in a production environment VERY heavily using EJBs,
JMS and web frontend and have had next to no problems at all.
Support is as quick as can be expected - have you ever tried to get M$
support? Oracle? Sun? It's worse trust me.
The docs are improving and I don't use the deployment tools so I can't speak
for those, but in terms of 'enterprise readiness' Orion is already there.
