Charles, I agree with you 100%. I would think there are A LOT of MSFT competitors out there that would absolutely love it if MSFT were to put their money where their mouth is and DROP JAVA from all their code. For exactly the reasons you stated. As new and infantile as Java is, it has become entrenched into all of our futures people. It may not be running many mission-critical Line-of-Business applications, but make no mistake about it, Java has a strong future in the industry. There are simple too many IT players (many of the largest i the industry) backing its future. And for MSFT to make such a STUPID heat-of-the-moment statement that they will poosibly not support Java at all, shows the pure arrogance in MSFT as a company. This arrogance will be their demise. Ask IBM what happens when you think your the leader of the IT world. Toy
