I remember the way Allen Benn dismissed WinCE when it came out: "Gates might sell a few handhelds..." Allen may indeed have the last laugh. I especially liked this quote: "Eclipse will evaluate the possibility of expanding its product line beyond its core Windows CE software, Grammar said. "We're going to re-look at the business plan. And that would mean that we would be looking at different possibilities," outside Windows CE." More articles on Microsoft's problems: Prices already being slashed on color CE handhelds news.com One large online computer retailer said it was also selling almost no color Windows CE handhelds. The Palm III is its top seller followed by the Palm V, said a sales representative. Reach, pay drawing developers to Java, Linux news.com Two recent studies support the trend: According to the Gartner Group, the number of programmers targeting Windows as their primary development environment will fall from 65 percent in 1998 to 40 percent next year. At the same time, developers writing browser-based software will rise from 18 percent to 40 percent. While many of those browser-based applications will run in Microsoft's Internet Explorer, they could run equally well in Netscape Communications' Navigator browser or embedded browsers from other makers. FYI, I just started using a Java web app that lets me log into my mainframe from anywhere in the world via the web. With a cable modem its just about as fast as a legacy controller-attached 3270 terminal. This is really making me realize the power of Java. Presumably I could use it on my father's Mac when I'm vacationing at his place. Pretty amazing to an old geezer like me who has strung his share of coax cable. (Well I'm not that old, but I went mountain climbing after work and now I FEEL old!) -Greg
