as far as shipping network computers - Sun has them, IBM has them - customers such as FTD, 1-800 Flowers, Boeing, SAABRE (american airlines) are using them now. Even microsoft has Network computers - 3 of them windows CE, NET PC's, and zero admin servers (actually 2 of them arent shipping - typical microsoft FUD when they know theyve been caught with their pants down).

Maybe you should go read some of the "Success stories" on the Sun site (http://www.sun.com/javastation/customersuccesses/), especially the FTD one. FTD is "evaluating" Java Enterprise and haven't implemented anything! This is a success story?

A friend of mine works for one of the "Big 6" in the bonds market. His company began rolling out a whole new system based on Java about 4 months ago, which would "revolutionize" data access for their department. The result: everyone hated it, because it was slow, worked differently on different machines and wasn't capable of interacting with all of their other software (Windows-based and others).

what benchmarks show Windows NT is the fastest platform for running server side applications?

I'll honestly look and find those. Actually, Sun's benchmarks came out faster lately. Then they came back and admitted they optimized their VM to take advantage of the CaffeineMark benchmark in order to get the highest scores. How do you like Sun now?

your claims about incompatibility with jvm's are untrue. Its typical microsoft - there is one Java - poisoned Java from Microsoft is Windows NOT Java.

And poisoned Java from Netscape is not Java. Netscape had to take the "Java Compatible" logo off their browser because it was even less Java-compliant than the MS one. So, seeing as these are the 2 most used Java VMs, do you still want to claim there aren't compatibility issues?

I'm not an investor or a paid shill.
