Re: Java is now dead

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I sure would hate to be a firm that has committed to Microsoft as their 
platform for development.  .net sounds like everything related to Windows 
programming for the last decade is not only suddenly "legacy"  but is also 
in danger of becoming more and more unusable with each new release of the 
Windows Vision. 

It may seem trivial or even negative, but the fact that RPG and RPGII 
still runs on a 64 bit operating system seems to me to be even more 
dramatic now.

i heard that several months ago at an asna seminar (.net not supporting
java).  it should be interesting how this plays out over the next couple
of years........
