David, I've got to disagree with your assessment of Java. First, I agree with Rod that it is senseless to even think that it will replace all (even some) other languages. However,it will (IMHO) be a dominant force in distributed application development. Because it greatly simplifies development of such applications, it is an appropriate tool in that arena.

Because it's strength is in the development of distributed (and imbedded, but that's another story) applications, it is unlikely that Microsoft will dominate. These applications need to run in a variety of environments, not just Windows. In fact, the developer often does not know in what environment his/her app will execute. This is why the MS Java development tools are not being widely accepted by Java developers. In fact, they receive wide criticism for not being 100% pure Java.

This is a battle that Inprise has a shot at winning.
