Agreed. I've also been suprised by the recent rise in FUD thats coming our way...
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-10-2001/jw-1019-iw-netvsjava.html? A nice MS marketting strategy seems to be comparing .Net to EJBs rather than to Java (or Servlets or JAXM or whatnot). Hardly a fair or useful comparison. .Net still seems to use COM under the covers anyways so COM v EJB or .NET v. Java seems more sensible but then I suppose thats the point of FUD afterall.
