The best proof comes from an opponent. Here's an interesting industry study *sponsored* by Microsoft. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa700836.aspx "New Detailed IDC Study Shows Microsoft in Strong Position for SOA, Web Services and Mission-Critical Application Platform Software" It supposedly pitches .NET vs Java, but they cheat: they stack up a single vendor for .NET (Microsoft) against multiple individual vendors for Java/J2EE (Oracle, IBM, Sun, former BEA et al). Microsoft and .NET barely grab a simple majority against each separate Java/J2EE vendor. But if you add them up, the competition is overwhelmingly crushing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
