Excellent article

Interestin article. Unfortunately, there are a lot of fallacies and half-truths in it. Also the autor seems to contradict himself quite often while trying to make a point.

Example: He first says MS is a "technological fast-follower", which is true. He then says Java will take over and nobody will need Office or other MS apps. Well, what prevents MS from writing Office in Java? Then everyone could buy it and use it on any machine, and people wouldn't need to learn a 5 new applications - they could use the ones they already know. So, where does this hurt MS? MS, if nothing else, has proven they can adapt to new markets very quickly.

Also, the phrase "Java on your mainframe" almost made me pass out laughing.
