Wow. That Microsoft is a real innovator. J2EE is so dead on arrival that BEA are doing $250M a quarter, growing sales 76% per year, even in this dead market. Yea. Dead on arrival.

Lets see what I can dig out of my memory (yes I know these are probably wrong, but the general idea is sound)

SUNW long file names: 1982
MSFT long file names: 1995

SUNW 32 bit operating system: 1982
MSFT 32 bit operating system: 1994

SUNW RPC: 1985
Microsoft COM: 1993

SUNW TCP: 1982
MSFT TCP: 1995

SUNW Java: 1995
MSFT C#: real soon now.

SUNW 64 bit operating system ships: 1998
MSFT 64 bit operating system ships: any time now, really.

SUNW symbolic links: 1982
MSFT symbolic links: What's a symbolic link?

P.

keithsha,

Your post about Java and MSFT is blatantly political, ill-informed and basically wrong.

Microsoft should be embarrassed about this move to "drop" Java.

The truth is much simpler. Sun dropped Microsoft after they stupidly started to monkey with a smoothly oiled technology for their own political purposes.

Keep drinking the Kool Aid. It has obviously "aided" your cognitive abilities in many ways!
