Does anyone beside me find it a stranger-than-fiction coincidence that the twister's nine-year-old brother, Scott McPeePee, shows up on this thread at approximately the same time that the press uncovers a nationwide black-ops counterfeit PR campaign plan by Microsoft? To me, it seems clear that as part of this operation, twister receives extra budget, maybe 50 or 75 cents per week, to double PeePee's allowance if he'll start cutting and pasting game developers' opinions about Java to the SI SUNW thread. Am I just being paranoid, or what? Regards --QwikSand

Don't you think that IBM going out of their way to support Java has more to do with it's technical merits and the problems that Java solves rather than anything else? Nope. IBM has too many incompatable software and hardware systems, and Java is the glue that is supposed to make them compatable. The JavaOS for e-business is just getting started and these analysts talk like they know more than the people who actually develop them. The JavaOS for e-business was a politically motivated event. Of course, when you are blinded with the Java religion you are unable to recognize such things.
