Maybe it was because JNI was designed to make sure no one would use it regularly as an alternative to Java shortcomings. It adds significant enough overhead to make it's use as a performance enhancer ill-advised and it is harder to use than chinese algebra. Microsoft's native calls were one-liners. They now live in C# and.Net for the rest of us.
...You only have to pay when you deploy.
SEE! SEE! SEE! Someone else is trying to make a living with software! LET'S GET'IM!!!!!!
(just kidding, but this is how you open source losers sound most of the time... couldn't help myself)
kinda like PHP. Open Source Blockheads can't figure out that.Net is just another platform/api framework like OWL/MFC/J2EE/ or patchwork frameworks like perl with PHP, apache with mod_perl, etc. They have nothing to fear except that.Net may outperform the java/perl/PHP oriented approaches. The subscription red herring is a ploy to discredit.Net as a M$ plot to coopt the internet when it does not contain any subscription code at all! If you charge for your PHP site, then you are a similar borg. Or you may simply be trying to pay your bills. Same with.Net.
>>...keeping MS honest, in the same way that having to make web pages Netscape-compatible has put the brakes on the proprietary extensions in IE.
One could also say "put the brakes on innovation in IE".

In a year or two no one will still be writing in swing anymore and it surely WILL then be forgotten...
