I hate to give Microsoft credit. First, it gets more than its fair share. Second, I get sick of reading mail claiming that anyone who agrees with Microsoft on any subject whatsoever is a bribe-taking Nazi communist pus-bag. But Corel's decision to backtrack on its Java commitment lends credence to Microsoft claims that Java isn't everything it's cracked up to be. My take: Would you drive over a cliff just because you didn't care for the guy who yelled a warning? Like it or not, Microsoft may be right What do you think Corel is up to? Are you using Java? Written by Jesse Berst on Thu Aug 21 23:33:15 1997 Join the discussion forum: community.zdnet.com The article: www4.zdnet.com Let's see what Java has done for Corel so far: a) Spent a lot of time; b) Spent a lot of money; c) Got something worse than before; d) Looks like a fool. In fairness, it's unclear just what Corel is up to. I have information the company isn't abandoning Java. Instead, it is re-architecting its systems to serve up Java components from a central Java server. It may be that Corel simply used Java the wrong way. It tried to use this new-fashioned tool to build an old-fashioned monolithic mega-monster suite. ------------------ ah
