Keith - I'm sorry for the inference as to intent. I pushed 'submit' on that post and went to edit it, as I often do directly afterwords and the system went down. If I would have had access to my post, I would have removed the part about BS-ing the thread. It certainly may be the case that you're just grossly misinformed or *that pollyannish. I do have a previous experience in forums such as this, back in the early days of Win32 when MS was attempting the mindshare and actually employed the tactic of sending their people online as shills to flat out lie about their product (all documented since) and attack the competitive product (OS/2) in the big push to mount developer mindshare. --- You should appreciate that MS has done that in the past and that I've been witness to it. If you were me, you'd be a little quick on the ad hominem draw with MS employees too. --- So, to go back and fix a misunderstanding, you're saying that MS's forthcoming product, which does not yet exist, will, in your opinion, somehow recapture dominant mindshare for Microsoft based on whatever casual distributing of 6 million previously distributed copies of 3 year old MS Visual Studio? To which you add Java developer book sales rankings reflect a huge swell of interest by 'hobbyists'?? -JCJ
