>Interestingly enough, that is excatly what we are doing and plan on doing in the foreseeable future. I'd be interested in your 'take' on this. Perhaps a separate thread?

Just so I understand... you plan on running mission ctritical apps over the net?

Maybe we have to define Mission critical. One example is a debate Karl Peterson and I had on this, he said this some of his stuff goes up with the NASA space shuttles. If that were the case, I wouldn't rely on an Internet connection to do things.

I'm also talking about consumers and users being two different companies. For example, I wrote the Timecard WS, and thousands of compaines around the world hit it.

So would you trust your missions ctritical apps to third parties over the web? I thought you made your POV pretty clear earlier!

My "take" in my last message was small modules on the net hosted and written by third parties I subscribe to that I can use with very little resoureces.
