precisely! Infact Java on the client side is a dead beast (client being a desktop) the only place where java is likely to pose stiff competition to an MS technology is on devices, coz Java really has a head start on this. Rgds Java on the server - i think Java has a slight edge over the MS range of technologies (more specifically RMI etc) But JSP and Servlets are in for some very stiff competition with things like asp.net on the ms ammo list now. Besides losing out on the webservices battle Sun really has to get its community together in building a more feature-rich J2ME, MIDP product soon
