I am biased in the sense that I believe Java and J2EE provide a more superior and cost-effective solution than.NET ever will.
However, what makes me disappointed is that this is defiantly not the end, and its going to get even worse as Microsoft starts delivering.NET ready solutions and products and tries to market them in the enterprise solutions market by trying to beat down Sun alternatives.
Not only will Sun and Microsoft try take each other down ( and their products, like 'Chai' HP initiative licensed by Microsoft ), but also take down other neutral technologies like XML, which has real potential.
This is bad for all concerned, especially for developers as it means being locked into a particular technology trees resulting in a lack of exposure to different paradigms and reduced ability to gain 'generic' skills that can be used and applied anywhere, and instead the growth of specialised product centric skills which can't be migrated to other technologies and products. Overall, the would result in reduced job opportunities as people become locked into products, apis and languages.
I'm sorry but I just can't seem to get excited. I think time would better spent trying to improve the existing ones, rather introducing another set of bugs and security holes into the mix.
everyday more and more of our inventions and discoveries are heading overseas ( take a look at the recent slashdot article on the wireless chip). The govenment has cut back its spending on R&D support by almost two thirds in the last couple of years.
Instead of the latest bio and nano technology, cutting edge computer hardware design and the latest in software developments, we get stuck with The Shit Whitepages(tm).
On the other hand, the chicks here are really good looking and they're really easy aswell...:-)

Can your satellite zoom in on Natalie Portman's breasts?
it comes with a just as comprehensive and functional uninstaller.

In the end it'll be the end-users that pay.

Southern Coss Cable Network.
Their main site is here
and a nice little animation which shows how the network works is here.
