As has been all over the trade news this past week, Netscape has something like 60% to 65% of the browser market. Robert, there are those who have been dragged along by the Java bandwagon, those who understand it, and those who are truly ignorant. Unfortunately you fall into the latter category. Why don't you take some time to compare your beloved COM/VB and Java/Beans first before spouting off that this is all some mindless bandwagon. Better yet, go off and tell me how successful you are at building a COM application that passes objects around like a normal OO system -- not numbers and strings -- and then try and derive some specialized classes after putting in all that effort. Why not examine the morass and tell us if it bears any resemblence to any OO nevermind C++ or whatever language you choose to do it in.

Look, you have been duped by Microsoft into thinking that COM is a language independent technology when in facts it's a procedural extension to Visual Basic that turns rational languages into a pile of rotting roadkill. Let's wait to see what eSuite does in the coming weeks and let's wait for the first Intel Java box before we start writing it off based on your personal bias.
