Sad what we've come to!

I sure didn't take it that way. Those are good points, well stated, that provide balance to my own comments.


My remarks about the "Win World" dying are a real concern I have. Things have changed a lot and the market doesn't seem to be embracing most of those changes. The big shifts have also come at a time when users are beginning to have real alternatives again, and may just walk out on Microsoft. The cozy Win/Mac duopoly shows some real weakness right now.

I can also say I have never been a fan of Java myself. But there are only just so many viable paths open today and you can't justify the time required to craft everything in C++. We have to keep our options open.
