Lucian -

I couldn't tell you what the future plans are even if I knew them.  All such issues are IBM Confidential and may not be discussed in a public forum until an official product announcement has been made.  The only way you can find out such information in advance of an announcement is to ask your Tivoli/IBM marketing rep to get you a nondisclosure agreement so you can discuss this with development.

thanks for this... I changed the.cds file and now I'm expecting the 
results..

can I ask you something more? do you know if future version on netview @ 
Windows / Linux will have one of these:

- full MLM configuration support
- RIM support
- native client support (Linux )

thanks a lot!
