Re: Forbes articles

I have not had a chance to really read them completely but glanced through them. It is interesting that up to a month ago the Wintel compaign was going after Sun by bringing up the UNIX vs. NT and how UNIX will lose the battle and how bad it is, etc. Since they seem to have been wrong in most parts, we no longer hear about that argument as often as we did in the past! However now they are after Java and apparently this month's top 10 list as why Microsoft-Intel is better than Sun is because Java is bad (with Java being bad as the number 1 in the list)!

As I said, in my humble opinion only, Microsoft groupies (including apparently Forbes) can make all kinds of noise with regard to Java, the fact is Sun really does not care and at this point; It is more of a political issue than a technical matter (With my apology since I feel I will be repeating myself as I expressed my opinion in
techstocks.com. The Wintel campaign keeps talking about Java as if they are still in the good old days where the computing world was 100% desktop...

Anyway...

As for the articles, at a better time I will try to go through them to understand if any of them make any sense, again in my humble opinion only.

Best Regards,
