Yes, that's one way of looking at what I was saying.  And, I guess, that 
is what I meant.

It's not that Webware couldn't be a viable corporate-level choice, but 
not as "Webware".  If I was to imagine that possibility, it would be 
with Webware in a larger stack of tools, with some sort of corporate 
champion.  Or even barring a champion, it would need to be a more 
complete environment.  Which maybe is what Webware was once intended to 
be, but for better or worse (better, IMHO) it's developed in a more 
decoupled manner.

Well, there might be other ways for Webware to be more popular.  But I 
think we need to consider realistic goals -- what's the ideal scenario 
you are envisioning?
