Why shouldn't a fully functional demo also be able to be used as a real application (or the basis for one)? A pet store shopping cart isn't rocket science. Even if it is just an educational science project, why does it have to be that much more complex and overly done than an equivalent application in another language/system/os. The point being is that M$ claims that their version of PetStore is that much smaller and easier to understand. Well, if their version also has all of the same showcase of features, then how come it is still that much smaller/simpler/faster? I don't really see what M$ did as being FUD. What they are doing is showing the hypocrisy of Sun's marketing engine and the technologies that Sun is pushing on people to use.
