McNeally's MS bashing is just embarrassing. Makes him look like he's a 12 year old kid instead of the CEO of a major corporation. He's trying to turn Java into a religion instead of a very a good programming language and the fight with MS into jihad. Java is not going to cure cancer and trying to slug out with MS for control of the desktop is losing battle. Sun's strength is in it's servers and it's high-end workstations and that is where they should be fighting.
