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?
