Michelle, Have you ever heard about the IBM SanFransisco project. Check into it and then tell me again what you think. I would suggest you pull your head out of the MSFT sand and look at the real world. BTW - what does "infancy stage" mean to you? To me that mean Java is just starting to entrench itself and mature. If you think Java is only a passing fad that will go away, you are quite naive. If it is really not a big deal then why did MSFT put so much effort into its own Java-mutation effort? And why did MSFt put up such a big fight in defending its continued use of Java? They could so easily have gone to Sun and said, I dont want to go to court. We will just stop any further use of Java since it is not going to be a big factor in the future. Instead they put up a huge fight against it! It is also ironic that if MSFT doesnt consider Java to be a big future technology factor for them, they sure were quick to "clarify" Maritz's statement of abandoning JAva from all their products. Please explain after you do a little research... Cheers Toy
