>>If anyone has a product called so, they're in for a nice ride. There are several programming philosophies revolving around the use of business objects, several frameworks (and dot net) have their own business objects, so if these guys really tried to reuse the name of a generic term as their product name... they shouldn't be surprised if nobody here heard of them. I mean, this is the first response to your message in 13 hours - someone should have used that product if it was well known.

>Business Objects has been around for quite a while. I used it back in 1996/7. I think it was originally an Oracle tool (I could be very wrong about that) and the owners of Crystal Reports bought it shortly after that. SAP I think are the current owners. Check out http://BusinessObjects.com.

I couldn't believe someone would sell a product with a generic name, but now I see they've been around before the name became generic.

Now I wouldn't be surprised... let's see: windows.com takes you to microsoft; database.com isn't even a company, it's one of those portal/aggregator/no-content websites (probably laden with ads but AdBlock is my pink eyewear); hammer.com leads to empirix.com, disk.com is some "Corporate Disk Company" (makes me wonder which of my disks are corporate and which are bodyless); normalized.com really exists and sells software; procedure.com is an aggregator for some medical stuff; function.com seems to be an engineering company; and variable.com is someone's blog.
