Banking industry yang pakek java banyak yang pakek OSS secara lansung atau tidak langsung. http://www.springsource.com/customers http://customers.redhat.com/category/industry/financial/ http://www.pentaho.com/about/customers/ I can go on. > Law suit cuma 1 hal.

Again back to this FUD. Just choose OSS project that are backed by reputable team/company or even better get a support contract. redhat, Spring, SUN (for mysql), jetty.

The team knows microsoft stack very well The company already pays a support contract with microsoft After all, java as a language is not newer than other Mircosoft SDK and migration works cost a lot of money and risks. > Di pasar non-OSS kayak ginilah, keunggulan java (mix n play OSS products) > justru jadi kelemahan.

Benci is a strong word :P Regards, Edward Yakop
