I have to chuckle at the testimonial given by Jerry Goguen, President and CEO of IntraLearn:
"When Java came along, we evaluated it and tried building Java-based products, but at the time Java was unstable and had no security....."
Oh really? "No security"...hmm....that seems a little general to me. I guess those nicely protected Win2K boxes made them feel nice and snuggly!
"Shortly after Java appeared, Microsoft let us know about ASP and its future ASP.NET strategy. ASP wasn't compelling enough to make us switch from ColdFusion, but when ASP.NET and Visual Studio .NET came out, we were sold, and we made the commitment to switch over to Microsoft tools and servers."
But by this time, Java was well mature, and quite secure. So just when the very objection to switching to Java was overcome, they decided to switch to a relatively new and untested and far more insecure (based on the server products it uses) .NET framework.
BlueDragon is no doubt a solid product, but I hate smarmy crap like this. Why not just say that .NET developers are cheaper and a nice break on licenses from MSFT was the reason for the switch?
