Nathan, you might find this discussion interesting.
There is a lot of talk of Java and .NET.
http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=444

The irony is that the guest expert suggests repeatedly that .Net developers learn Java. In his opinion, Oracle made a great decision to buy Sun, and the Java community will be better for it - Sun was good at innovation, but Java needed a company like Oracle, which looks after the interests of shareholders, as well as customers. Java is in a better position now to compete against Microsoft & .Net.

That's essentially what I got out of it - but a bit confused that such content is sponsored by the .Net community, and that a .Net proponent would post the link.

I heard an honest discussion where everyone was freely expressing
their POV. What I like about the MSFT community is the absence of the
us vs them mentality prevalent in the IBM and Linux camps. For
example, I have yet to see comments in the MSFT forums that IBM or
Linux or java sucks. ( not that they dont ;) )
