The competition Microsoft has the better, as far as they are concerned. What they don't want is credible competition for their operating system and the core business software which drives it. That means control of the component model and the languages which are used to build those components, and the higher level languages used to glue them together into business applications. If they lose the component model they will lose their dominant language position and that could lead to erosion of their desktop dominance. I don't think they have a snowball's chance of getting the home computer with their brain-dead OS. In the last PC Week there were several articles which dismissed the ridiculous notion that Java was nothing more than a language, and that gives me hope that Microsoft's component model and Visual Basic will be seen for the true technological garbage they represent. Microsoft has left modern languages like C++ to go to the dogs while they spare no expense builing an archaic system to support Visual Basic. This should be crashingly obvious, yet not unlike the Java is just a language nonsense, the technical press isn't catching on to this.
