Re: Java is now dead

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Not flocking?    What was expected?  My goodness Java has been on the 
radar for just 6 years and there is lots of it out there.  Java is a 
career choice, not some casual decision about what to do on Saturday 
afternoon. 

It is my opinion that Java has a good chance of being in this for the long 
haul because the Microsoft fans are going to get tired of sudden changes, 
product withdrawals, aborted paradigms, and $4,000 Certification courses 
that have no value a few years hence.  As time goes by managers will get 
tired of the hamster wheel known as The Microsoft Solution and Java will 
look like an old and trusted friend.

I don't disagree, but, Hans, would you elaborate
on some of these other reasons?
