    It's great to see JBoss win the 'Best Java Application Server' category, beating both BEA's WebLogic and IBM's WebSphere! Read the article at JavaWorld.

    Meanwhile, Microsoft is rubbing their hands together that .NET's major competitor as a platform isn't having their award-winning products spearheaded by corporations.

    Just a thought.

      more likely they're pissed off that their major competitors can't have "their air-supply cut off."

      Perhaps, but on the other end there is nothing said about the other candidates not being good enough. BEA WebLogic get's some very good remarks in the article. Also, it's kind of a proof that open source software can be a good solution and MS will not be happy with that... BTW, I just love this quote:
      "JBoss stopped being an application server a long time ago -- it is now officially a phenomenon," says ECA judge Sheil.
