Will and I run Caversham Computer Services, which specialises in platform  
independent systems written in Java. We see the next significant move for  
us and for the industry as a whole as being in the rapidly growing field  
of porting organisations off Windows.  This will become increasingly an  
issue as M$ ramp up the the roll-out of Longhorn and twist arms to get  
people to lock themselves in again.

I think this area might be of interest to the group as a whole.

As I don't know who your company is, I not quite sure what they do or  
where they are going, but this could be of interest to them as well.
