Technology that MS is holding back? 1. JAVA. By implementing a JAVA that is not runnable on non-MS machines they are attempting to force JAVA to not be an viable option for users. 2. CORBA -vs- DCOM/COM specification. In this case, you had a technology which was written and viable but not under Microsoft's control. Therefore, Microsoft would not use it. 3. JAVASCRIPT -vs- JScript. Crippling it by taking out the IMAGE object. Once again see #1. Also please use the "Normal Font" option, the Fixed Font is difficult to read. Thanks.
