I hope IBM know what they're doing

If they play chicken with Sun to get a bargain
on the yummy pieces, they still risk throwing
Java into years of uncertainty and customer
defection. And that'll hurt part of IBMs
business as well.

I bet this is a game Microsoft are watching
closely. Their .NET platform could be one of
the biggest beneficiaries of Java chaos. And
with that Windows servers.

I think it safe to say at this point that
JavaFX is a lame duck. Late to the game, smart
phone market shifted b/c of iPhone and now an
uncertain future.

Any takers for OpenOffice? Anyone want to pay
good money for guaranteed years of expenses?
It's open source so you it will be good
business. (not)
