Somebody recently asked me if "we" had done a serious evaluation of ORBit
to check how complete it was and whether or not it was good enough for us
to replace mico with it. I said no at the time, but has it been done? Has
any of you CORBA hackers had a good look at ORBit (my knowledge of CORBA
stops at the the account examples unfortunately)? Since we don't seem to
be using mico's COSS now, perhaps ORBit may be feature-complete enough,
and it is a hell of a lot smaller...

If I'm being clueless, ignore me.
