Re: Code donations for RPGUI initiative

The whole point of being different is to create a marketing edge. Something that these hardware platforms have that others don't, and something that customers want to buy.

Right. I think competition between platforms is good. It gives companies choices. Having the ability to develop applications that can run on multiple platforms lets a company choose the platform(s) they want while protecting their current investments in programming tools and applications.
Actually I'd like competitions between platforms implementing a common specification, so you can easily choose (sorry, soapbox again).

In the Java Enterprise world, the core is strongly determined by the JEE specification, and only the "configuration" is vendor specific. This makes it much easier to have a core enterprise application which can be deployed on any JEE container (with the necessary plumbing). This as opposed to the marriage that is necessary otherwise.

Choice again :)
