Don Box: Huge Security Holes in Solaris, JVM

DaHat writes "Don Box, one of the authors of the original SOAP specification in 1998, now an architect on Microsoft's next generation Indigo platform recently responded to James Gosling's remarks regarding huge security holes within the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). Don argues that the same 'flaws' that Gosling noted in the .NET CLR exist both within the Solaris operating system as well as the JVM, both of which support execution of C and C++ code, as well as explaining why this is not necessarily a bad thing."

Just further proof that when Microsoft sat down to write .NET they took their JVM (that Sun defeated in the courts) and did some keyword replacements on the source and came up with C#.

"giving us pure Java device drivers."

I'm sorry, but that just sounds like a joke...

I'm not sure though, are you being serious?
