The top end license for the Axiom Stack in FAST Search, which we OEM for a reasonable price. The license most users will need for commercial use is $999.00. There is plenty of buzz about server-side Javascript and most developers know Javascript. It's gotten a bad rap. When most people think of Javascript, they think Netscape and client-side. This is the same language, but used on the server-side. We've been using it commercially for a few years with great success. It works great on MacOS. There is no Java upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 for Tiger. We are currently producing a version of the Axiom Stack which will use Java 1.5, to help these users. We've seen no other problems. And, actually there were several people who had downloaded and used the Axiom Stack during the show. The winner, Robert, was on a Mac, not a PC. I’m the product manager for Axiom Stack.
