I was flying cross country several days ago. :-) The essay is a little
strange but nothing too bad, and in any event Microsoft has sown a lot
of badwill over the decades its been in existence.
If they're dumb enough to sue him, my condolences. :-)

Yes, I did see that. I'm not precisely sure what it
means yet but hopefully the infusion of Java into Open
Source will improve both. One of the more interesting
possibilities might be called Java/GWT. :-) Perhaps
Java/KWT as well.
I'll admit Java needs another widget set like I need another
hole in my head (it's already got three) but software is an
evolving product anyway.
We shall see.
As for the rest ... I'll be darned if I can keep up with it all.
