I thought Borland/Inprise had gone down. You mean they're still in business? For how long? Does anyone care? They were a bad imitation of Micros~1 (and Corel, for that matter, was a bad imitation of Borland) to begin with. The only important product they ever did was Turbo Pascal, and who cares about that anymore?
I'm sure the market will consolidate -- that's inevitable -- but probably not like this. Why, for instance, Caldera and SuSE? SuSE is way too cool for a bunch of ex-Novell losers like Caldera. I suspect RedHat and SuSE will end up ruling the world, leaving also-rans like Slackware and LinuxOne in the dust. And I hope one of them doesn't buy the other, because I'd rather have them competing. RedHat as the sole dominant commercial distro would be just as bad as Micros~1.
Logically there would be a bus adapter or something. I guess there isn't.
You've done this a lot lately, declaring that something is or isn't "logical" according to some unfathomable criterion of your own. Did you learn logic from Star Trek? I hate to break this to you, but Spock's "logic" was often BS.
