Sounds like the fairy tale, "The Three Sillies" to me. (Oh, what a terrible thing it would be...) JMHO.

Thanks for the article. I can't help reading between the lines. It is written from the perspective that NO ONE can compete with MSFT on any level and any attempt to do so is futile. I personally disagree with that premise.

The only interesting thing about this crummy article is that it contains absolutely nothing but tired old slogans...not a hint of data, not a trace of astute perspective, not a jot of anything new. Pure regurgitation of the old party line. TheStreet.com must be getting desperate. Regards, --QwikSand

Whatta load of crap. I've lost all faith in The street.com! "Java has hit the limits of network bandwidth" - What?? What in the world does Java have to do with network bandwidth? All I can think is he's referring to applets being downloaded over a network, which is not what Java's all about anyway. It's also very hard to image NT, who's 5.0 product is getting pushed further out into the future, being accepted as a real server. The author just doesn't give much evidence for this. It's currently used in small installations and is known to be very unreliable. Why on earth does that equate to being something that will take over UNIX in the "workstation" market! Whoa. NT is popular because you can get a small installation up and running with less know-how. As networking/web/Internet applications become more complex, NT is going to have a very tough time being the platform of choice. Mike

brian z. This article sounds like a Bill Gates wet dream. "When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are...."
