No, I don't think so--OpenVMS still sits quietly in the back corner of financial institutions, chugging away at its COBOL based applications with real fault-tolerance quite nicely thank you! Why would a soul use Java on slowaris? http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/0 2/09/1347215&mode=thread&tid=108 Besides, OpenVMS also has java and netbeans. But then again, why would anyone spend the money to migrate from COBOL to java when everything works just fine and there are great migration products like BridgeWorks available? http://www.openvms.compaq.com/commercial/bridgewor ks You speak as if you had the power to make migration decisions, but low and behold you're probably just some troll developer with a strange opinion.
