"C# on the 1.1.NET framework performs consistently better than Java on the best VM I know of (IBM 1.3). On the small memory models the C# version the composite result is about 20%-25% better than the Java one."
Because c# is faster than Java, and Java is faster than c++, then by transitivity, C# is faster than c++.
To back up my claim that c# is indeed faster, I cite as my source a researcher at cornell:

I know what it stands for, but does the average consumer?
My point is that the name should be as intuitive as the software itself.
This is a perfect example of where F/OSS needs improvement: the naming and presentation of their software.
Good marketing will expedite adoption.
Mozilla is easy to use/install/..ect because it was initially developed by a proprietary software company, namely Netscape, where they had to worry about usability.
The code was later made open source, and now its just being improved. Same with Open Office.
I'm not trolling, just giving credit where credits due.
MS Basic was ripped off from Dec Labs (Gates worked as an intern there),
false. In DEC, Gates was a highschool intern working as a tester, his job was to break their system. Even if DEC was working on Basic, a highschool intern hardly would have the opportunity to rip them off.
Gates used a DARAPA funded computer at Harvard to simulate the altair, then spent 3-4 weeks developing basic. He began development nearly immediatly after Paul Allen told him about the infamous popular science mag featuring the altair. During those weeks of development, he did not go to classes, he worked nearly 24/7. He knew Basic from school, and did not rip off anyone.
Gates used his uncle's position on the IBM board of directors
false. I believe you are refering to the fact that Mary Gates (Bill's mom) had served on the national board of United Way with one a senior IBM executive, nicknamed 'the brain'. No uncle here.

Ok, I guess I should write more then.

"The code was complety re-writen on Mozilla, ..."
If the code was re-written, doesn't that imply it was once written (albeit in an earlier form)?
My entire point is that the previously written code (the code released to OS) contained the core usability features we enjoy today.
Mozilla is easy to use/install/..ect because it was initially developed by a proprietary software company, namely Netscape, where they had to worry about usability.
