Gates is scared. Computing ubiquity is moving towards mobile (and
consumer) devices and Windows Mobile is just a niche player in the mix.
Here's a blog entry about news starting to trickle out of JavaOne,
which started today, stuff like open source java, mobiles, Java EE,
etc.

Now there's a guy from Motorola on stage. He's the guy who originally
introduced Java at this conference 11 years ago. The next few years
will be
just as crazy as the last 10 years for Java - only it will happen on
a
high-speed mobile network. In the mobile space, their are a lot of
proprietary things going on. By encouraging and using Java,
applications
can be developed and deployed easily across many mobile devices.
Motorola
is selling 200 million phones this year. They've shipped 90 million
in the
last 6 months. Java needs to stay unified so write-once, run anywhere
works
on all devices. Motorola is publishing many open source projects for
Java
and Linux on http://opensource.motorola.com. To summarize, Motorola
alone
out-ships the PC industry.
