Is Orion Application Server dead?

, ,

Does anybody know why Orion Application Server, with the exception of a few minor bug fix releases, has stayed intact, like a dead project, for years? Orion was a very fast and memory conservative application server. Its fast startup time had made it very suitable for development environments. Orion was so great that even Oracle built its own application server based on Orion.

I wonder why they didn't keep on developing Orion after J2EE 1.3. Does anybody know?

I had asked for it, Opera listened

A long time ago I had asked for Very Persistent Opera Customizations and now I am delighted that Opera has listened and has responded nicely to my request. Opera has released an Alpha version of Krestel (Opera 9.5) and they have now added a feature called Synchronized which just does what I had asked for. It is not still complete. Not everything is synchronizable yet, but hopefully over time it will become better and better.
