Java vs .NET

Posted by michael on from the flamebait dept.

CHaN_316 writes "Yahoo is running a story called 'Is Java Finished?' It provides a brief overview of the strengths and weaknesses of J2EE and contrasts them with .NET. Classic arguments are brought up like Java being great for portability while .NET ties you down to Microsoft products, etc. It's interesting that they bring up the Java Community Process, and how it is a rather slow moving procedure that is causing Java to become stagnant."

    The more everybody relies on Microsoft technologies the more the world becomes vulnerable and open to bugs, virii, and massive crashes.

    Ex: Blaster, SoBig, etc. all in the last few weeks. And the worst part is that we know it won't EVER end.

    Ex: Yesterday I went to Subway to eat on my break and I had to waste 1 minutes while the guy behind the counter tried to get his Windows Embedded Register to reboot and crash over and over. I had to scarf down my food fast and get back ASAP so thanks, Bill!
