This is a passage from the article: "How many times have people expressed the opinion that because they do not know how to use a computer they are stupid?"
My answer is that this guy must never have worked in an Internet support position. Anyone who has will surely know what I am talking about. I would not want most of our ISP customers to be running Linux.......
Innovation? Is adding proprietary fuctionality to java that only works on win32 considered an innovation for a platform independent language? I do not think so.
I beg to differ. Java is going places on the desktop. For now, I will agree that java is buggy and slow. But that will change. It has gotten better in the relatively short time since 1.0.
As a developer, I can think of nothing more beautiful than writing a program once, and having it run on Windoze, Mac, Linux, Sun, AIX, etc. Java delivers that. Just give it some time. It will not be long before everything is written in java.
