Sun plugs serious holes in Java

Another one for the good guys...: My rep and I are already celebrating this. We always knew Java was insecure and that the overall design was not robust. Microsoft crushed Java with .NET. With the launch of SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005, it is obvious that 2005 will be known as the "Year of the Developer". Java is a legacy language, relegated to the scrap heap by high powered CIOs the world over who respect design, security and standards. Sun, Novell and Red Hat are all doomed. My rep and I are getting ready for a night on the town. Who knows, I may sign an NDA or two!; Posted by: Mike Cox Posted on: 11/29/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
