Now, was anyone ever expecting Microsoft to return to Java? After abondoning Visual J++, and after the settlement with Sun, and of course the creation of .Net and C# ... to actively compete against Java and J2EE, and after rumours that Java (runtime) would not be installed in Windows XP ... I was never expecting Microsoft to ever return to the world of Java! I thought they would love to kill one of their strongest competitor - Java and its parent company Sun! But what I have recently heard and read about has just astonished me!
Check this out - DevX breaking the news: http://www.devx.com/dotnet/articles/lp100901/lp100901.asp And check from the official sources - Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualj/jsharp/beta.asp Well, I guess may be Microsoft has changed their policies, and may be they have thought of being more competent than being monopolistic. Nonetheless, it seems to me as a business choice by Microsoft. Anywayz, I hope it will help both the communities - that of Java and that of Microsoft platforms, espcially it will help .Net. But the quetion is: Where and on whom are they planning to launch this bomb on? Sun? The developers? Or will it be Microsoft itself? What do u people think about this whole thing?
