AS I have posted before, the market will most likely always be split and the competition is very healthy for both sides. Without .NET pushing Java and Java pushing .NET, not much will ever get done. I actually wish another large third party would join the market with a third competing technology. Frankly, I don't believe that the best ideas can be incorporated into only two product lines. Open source certainly is another venue for ideas, but we really need more.

YES!

Hats off to you, P.A. That's what I'm talking about. To be totally honest, I want .NET to succeed. That forces Sun to step up. It forces OpenSource to get better. It's a win-win-win as far as I'm concerned.

Geeks like me want to battle it out at the workstation and in the cleanroom, NOT the courtroom.

Let the games begin!

Know what would REALLY be cool? IBM creating a mainframe version just for mainframes! Imagine the big iron ideas that have yet to introduced into the server market, and there are some. I have always loved microcomputers, but I also was working with mainframes and knew there were serious differences.
