I honestly don't understand where you are coming from here. You made the point that Java is used on more systems, thereby inferring that it was superior to .Net, without further qualifying your argument. > > > A web client would be a step forward for VMware management there is no >> doubt >> about that but I don't see why Java being used more frequently makes >> something >> a superior product. >> > > Because people using non-Windows platform could use it.

Isn't .Net just a platform for development that can be used for web development? Is there anything on non-Windows systems that prevents them from rendering a website developed using .Net? I wasn't aware that there was and if there is, that would be the reason I didn't understand you claiming Java's superiority based solely on the fact that it is used on more systems. > > >> Does that mean Flash > HTML 5? >> > > The other way around as far as I am concerned.

I agree. This goes back to you stating Java is used on more systems without taking the time to qualify it. I was simply stating that just because Flash sites are more common than HTML 5 sites doesn't make it superior. I think we agree on this one :) > > > -- > Yves. > http://www.SollerS.ca/ > Unix/Linux and Python specialist in > Calgary. > > http://blog.zioup.org/ > ______________________________**_________________ > Discuss mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-**bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss<https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss> > This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators > http://lopsa.org/ >
