I think my bias against the CLR also enters into it. I feel like the JVM--having mutiple solid OSS impls and a rich OSS culture--is really the "platform of the people" or if you like the "managed runtime of the people." The CLR...not so much. Call me crazy, but I'd rather not do anything to help the CLR gain developers if I can help it. - Charlie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
