You bet that a large corporate such as Oracle has got tools (market research, etc...) to have some decent figures about who like and don't like them. Unfortunately, we, the community, don't have any such tool (we use the blogs to pretend to measure our size, but this is just bullshit that leads to gross overestimates).
Frankly, I'd accept Kevin's provocation: if you get bored by Ellison's keynotes, it would be practical to move to another VM ecosystem such as LLVM (and, of course, forcing yourself not to be bored by Jobs' keynotes). - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
