@Jake: SQL Server is simply too pathetic to be included in any legitimate stack. Wino is partly tongue-in-cheek, but developer laziness in using the inferior product SQL Server is primarily what I see keeping .NET down as a platform.

@Ted: Interesting thoughts. I have no idea, but I think there will be a standard platform push for all Apps. Stranger things have happened though.

We like BEA; we had to jettison OAS because it clashed with PeopleTools 8.49 in Firefox and Safari in our 2007 release of PeopleSoft 9.0 applications -- WebLogic saved the day. Is this part of -- does anyone have an thoughts -- building a PeopleSoft-specific tools stack (using what we used pre-Oracle: PeopleTools, WebLogic, etc.) as opposed to a Fusion stack? As much as I like the conceptual Fusion, in practice it seems that right now the PS-specific tools are still better in the PS arena. I guess if Fusion practically happens, it will be the best of red and blue?

@Michael O: WINO, that's crazy talk man! I would have expected WINS (S=SQL Server), but WINO is madness. Seriously, an interesting take that I'm sure would ruffle feathers in both camps. Not as cheap as SAMJ, but easier to remember. Maybe I should switch the order to JAMS. Much better.

LAMP might not be replaced by SAMJ, but maybe it will be by WINO => http://blog.crisatunity.com/2008/01/and-wino-sh... :)
