LBS, silly is as silly says and you hit the nail on the head with that observation. It troubles me that these guys read a few articles in PCWeek or maybe run through a tutorial and then engage in these personal thought experiments from which they draw conclusions. I can also tell you that you are dealing with one of the most gullable swallowers of the Microsoft line I have ever encountered. You know why they're investing in Inprise? C++Builder, yeah, no kidding. Sure, they've changed their tune along the way but they had this idea that retail sales of Delphi and C++Builder were going to launch this stock. No kidding. They will tell you otherwise but if you've been following their comments over the years (sheesh) you'll find I'm right.

Sorry. You would have to go back and read the a couple of hundred posts from a year ago to understand my message. As for the MSFT dominance, you must be mistaking me with David Ray (follow this message back). THis mistake has been made some many times, that I am beigining to wonder if David Ray is my alter-ego. As for Java, it ain't half of what it was pumped up to be. But very important, and promising, all the same. MSFT's goal is not to dominate Java, but to control Java on the Windows desktop, and Server. They are an operating system company. Everything they do is related to growing their O/S dominance.
