Naturally, it depends on

. Which ORBs you use, e.g., some ORBs are more compliant with the spec
  than others.  In particular, if you use the ORB bunded with the
  Sun JDK then you're simply SOL since that ORB is very
  non-compliant.  Fortunately, the mainstream ORBs are much more
  compliant.

. How you approach ORB portability, e.g., what steps you take to avoid
  portability issues.  In particular, if you check out

  http://corbaconf.kiev.ua/

  you'll see a toolkit that simplifies development of ORB-independent
  software for most mainstream ORBs.

Take care,

        Doug
