Technology that MS is holding back?

1. JAVA. By implementing a JAVA that is not runnable on non-MS
machines they are attempting to force JAVA to not be an
viable option for users.

2. CORBA -vs- DCOM/COM specification. In this case, you had
a technology which was written and viable but not under
Microsoft's control. Therefore, Microsoft would not
use it.

3. JAVASCRIPT -vs- JScript. Crippling it by taking out the
IMAGE object. Once again see #1.

Also please use the "Normal Font" option, the Fixed Font is difficult to read. Thanks.
