They don't. -
The real war room at Microsoft
Judging from all the security holes in Microsoft products, I suspect this is more representative of the war room at Microsoft.

Appropreate comic for the occation
This Parking Lot is Full comic seems quite appropreate given the subject matter.
For those who haven't seen it before, The Parking Lot is Full is a classic work of black humor. -

Chicken
I am sad to report that the chicken article [pdf] has been classified as inauthentic. But maybe the program just doesn't understand papers written in Chicken [gif].

"It's Goofy Time!" -
IT'S GOOFY TIME!
No, dad! No!
Goofy was always the sinister one, in my opinion. -
Goofy, huh?
Right. I see where this is going; right here.

Re:Wow! What a question to ask on Slashdot...
Alternatively, we could learn Chicken.

PLIF.COM has a better idea.

Re:Java
Is java really worth developing for? I think it is great for its ease of programming and library support, but it's requirement of running on virtual machines leads to huge memory requirements for the simplest programs, and GC while nice, can lead to slow apps.
I would not recommend Java for small programs. But my company sells a scientific application that is written in Java. It handles large amounts of data and applies clustering algorithms that are computationally intensive. Compared with the sheer amounts of work that our own code is doing, the VM overhead is hardly noticeable. Our customer base is evenly split between academia and the pharmaceutical industry. Almost a third of our installs are on the Mac, and there's a few percent who are using Linux. The rest are running Windows.
Our leading competitor sells a Windows-only product. We have three times as much market share.
Why would anyone want to write a serious "enterprise" application in Java vs. say C++??
Because C++ sucks.
