Anyone who thinks that I'm a notorious Java hater might be interested in this whitepaper. I wrote it back in 2002 and released it to the public in response to Microsoft's globally loathed .NET PetShop whitepaper. For what it's worth, I didn't simply spew up an unpolished blog. Back then I took the time to write a full example application and an 18 page document detailing how Java was "better" than .NET 1.0http://www.clintonbegin.com/downloads/JPetStore-1-2-0.pdf
Sun even hired me to speak on the topic at their (now defunct?) Sun Developer Days in various cities. I'm just calling a spade a spade -- in both cases.Clinton
