CORBA well-supported on Linux

Andy Tai writes " The Object Management Group, the body overseeing the CORBA standard, and Linux International put out a press release advertising the available CORBA implementations on Linux."It's all about options. Users don't want to be bound to only one platform or operating system," commented Bill Hoffman, President of the Object Management Group. "Linux offers another level of independence and CORBA vendors have responded. As Linux comes out of the back room and into the mainstream, I suspect other middleware vendors will follow this trend." This is good evidence of the complementary relationship of open standards and Free Software/Open Source."
