Why I believe you are correct that Sun is the one who stopped MS from including Java in the XP release Java isn't quite as dead as you think. If I recall correctly ColdFusion MX is now written in Java and there are quite a few J2EE is the foundation of many web services besides news tickers.
Personally I prefer .NET but that's because I have been using asp for awhile and it the learning curve isn't that steep for me. It also is getting to be platform independent since Apache.NET is available (in beta I still last time I heard but getting there) and so is a version to run on FreeBSD and the next release of PHP is supposed to support .NET as well.

Java on the web is nothing more than chat rooms and news tickers, and any Windows-based software development is done in VB or C++ On top of that, wasn't it Sun who blocked M$ from getting the latest version of Java to put in the VM? I think that this is nothing more than a battle of pride for Sun - who really uses Java any more?
