How many people could afford Picaso? That is excatly why .NET is creeping up so fast. As Rod Johnson asked, how many huge huge apps are out there waiting for distributed transaction management provided by EJB containers? . What does Java have to stack up against .NET on desktops? NOTHING. We are still strong on the severside although we lost quite a portion of the pie to .NET. If we lost our last stronghold on the serverside, you would all become bums(on top of outsourcing) no matter how fast you could code in your this pad and that pad. Thanks to JSF and other things such as spring and hibernate,we are in very good shape again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
