I agree with Tony on this. IBM has a real chance with UniVerse to take market share from Microsoft in the mid sized, small business database bracket.

UniVerse is easier to setup and maintain. With redback it has solid functionality for the web side of things and it will run on anything. Just the ticket for a very cost aware small business that may be building it's LAN out of bits and pieces.

I hope IBM goes for it.

True, but the observation Tony made still stands.  I was personally excited
when IBM took over UniVerse, thinking that they would put some money behind
it, and promote it, at least a little bit.  Unless, they bought it just to
kill it.

The article seems to be a promotion of PeopleSoft not necessarily IBM.
