From a recent FT article - tidbits on Java:

Java market
According to a survey conducted among almost 280 companies by Zona
Research, the market research firm, half are already using Java and that the
rest plan to within a year. By 2000, Zona estimates, 97 per cent of all
companies will be running Java applications in the enterprise.

Andy Grove's comments
As Andrew Grove, Intel's chief executive has noted:
"Java is an important technology because it brings a whole bunch of legacy
software and ties it to the Internet."

let's see what happens
Whatever happens, 1998 could be a decisive year for Java and determine
whether Sun's new programming language was just another over-hyped
flash-in-the-pan, or, as many technologists believe, an important
breakthrough with implications throughout the computing world.
