Microsoft's 'Superplatform' Tells A Strong Enterprise Story
A new report from the Burton group says that Microsoft has the most cohesive "superplatform" offering. The Burton Group defines the superplatform as a tightly integrated suite of products that provides a platform for enterprise computing. The analyst firm also places IBM, BEA Systems, Oracle and SAP AG in the superplatform vendor category.In its quest to be an enterprise player, Microsoft has done much to address enterprise-class security, scalability and manageability in Windows Server 2003, the foundation of its superplatform, according to the Burton Group. "For a long time Microsoft was relegated to the branch office or the small or medium-sized business," said Anne Thomas Manes, vice president and research director at the Burton Group, and lead author on "The Microsoft Superplatform: Setting the Bar in the Superplatform Arms Race." "Now the stuff [Windows platform] is really scalable and powerful, and you can definitely use it as a core data-center-type operating system."

Disingenuous content
To say that portability is not important because of all of Java's "bells and whistles" and the unlikely event of moving from WebLogic to WebSphere, for example, is disingenuous at best.
Portability is one of Java's most important advantages, but this is hardware platform portability. Of course no one really moves between application servers. But it is a great advantage to be able to develop on a Windows PC but be able to deploy on a Linux or Solaris or Windows server, based on need and expense and scalability.
I'm glad to see the Windows platform become more enterprise ready, though, and am looking forward to .Net 2.0!
