Shane,

I think you make three excellent (and correct) points. These big companies that can use thousands of NCs are the same ones running COBOL on mainframes. They may have a little "catching up" to do. I think they'd can the hardware in a second; but the investment in software (COBOL or whatever) is big, and gets bigger by the day. Rest assured, these companies that are spending millions on y2k remediation fully plan to get some mileage out of it.

Microsoft has a sackful of money, and you just can't count them out.

And most importantly, are we going to just trade MSFT's stranglehold on the Windows API for Sun's stranglehold on the JVM?
