While Intel's middleware division is commited to Harmony, Intel's top brass is pushing Wintel everywhere. And Microsoft is known for its anti-java stance. In fact, the whole point of .net and C# was to take mindshare away from java, which with its cross-platform warranty, makes windows irrelevant. So, here we have a small section of Intel funding something that the Evil Empire of Redmondia hates with a passion. I'd say it wouldn't be nice to make a big fuss out of Intel's involvement. In fact, it could even backfire. But then WTF do I know, I'm a journalist geek. ;-) FC
