Well, well, well. Look at who one of the quotes from that Anti-Java article came from: 'Java is proprietary, controlled by Sun Microsystems. As long as it's controlled by a single entity it will never be an industry standard. SunSoft wants me to license Java from them; nothing is open when they have intellectual property rights. By Sun trying to control the market through restrictive licensing agreements, they have made Java migrate toward proprietary instead of open solutions. The promise of Java is a lie: It doesn't run cross platform. Even in the same tool kit there are incompatibilities. Java reinvents itself every three months; we don't waste time on moving targets.'' -- Jeff Merkey, CEO, Timpanagos Research Group They didn't even bother to get the company name right. Not exactly a long list of credible, well-established companies there, overall. RCY
