I agree about moving to another thread... If you find the
right one, please let me know.
Don't make a mistake, I see a future for Java. The thing
I'm disputing is that Java will take the center stage
in computing, replace Windows and destroy Microsoft in the
process...
I can see Java running connectivity related behind-the-scenes
stuff on servers, or even some end-user functionality. But all the
benefits that Java theoretically has to offer are not necessarily
useful or important.
If x86 stays the rule, then we probably do not need cross-platform
compatibility, for example - and the cross-platform feature is
really the lifeblood of Java.
Hmmm, never did try to convert a OpenGL graphics app to Windows.
Shouldn't that be easy these days, with MS licensing it...?
Right, well, I'd love to say more on all this tech stuff,
but I'm leaving on a nice long vacation today, so... let me
know the other thread some day.
Sincerely!
