First on the JBoss, you talked about the tax rates for the large deals. But I was wondering if you can talk a little bit about standalone sales for JBoss and what kind of traction you are getting there?

James Whitehurst

As we have talked about, JBoss continues to grow much faster than the core business. And we continue to see success really around the world in all regions. Both with the application server, as well with some of the new products like the SOA suite. So, we''re continuing to see momentum.

Okay and then, you mentioned pricing being stabilized. But I believe Novell mentioned the possibility of getting more aggressive on the pricing in SUSE. Have you seen that? How much do you guys compete or overlap with them, where that could cause short-term pricing pressure?

James Whitehurst

So just a comment on that, we compete against free all the time, and so it doesn''t get anymore aggressive or cheaper than free. In the case of the Microsoft/Novell arrangement, where Microsoft has prepaid, they basically have free certificate. So, I''m not clear how to get more aggressive than that. And I think the rest of our results kind of speak for themselves.

Great.

Excuse me, I wanted to look at you mentioned the JBoss migration package that open source is being developed in conjunction with community. What specific platforms do you think are the lead choices and where are the pieces already built? How much of that depends on contributions from the community? In other words, is this sort of signaling that you are really moving more aggressively to migrate potentially customers from non-open source application servers, you know what I mean?
