There isn't anything to notice Shane because that very important event did not just come to my attention as it did yours. The announcement by Microsoft-led members in Redmond was hardly a surprise and the vote by China is simply enigmatic. They lost the vote, it's effectively an international standard like C++. When was C++ officially declared a standard and when did it become the de facto standard? The thing is Shane, you and a lot of other people are behind the curve on this whole issue. That's not surprising, it's just the way it always is.

The camp claiming this was all hype moved on about a year back and now you have people coming out of the woodwork thinking they are being clever with similar statements. The time to make those challenges was a 18 months ago. Now it just sounds trite. In fact, Java-is-hype represents the real bandwagon. There's obviously money to be made writing Microsoft-based software, I should know, but the future will not be driven by Microsoft.
