- Java needs Microsoft involvement
-
Desktop Java is virtually trashed by industry. The main reason is due to crappy shoddy looking implementation of GUI packages. Commercial developers well aware this problem. I hardly see companies use Java to develop their desktop business applications.
Sun's lawsuit against MS was a big mistakes. GUI Java applications in web also difficult to deploy due to the lack of support of Microsoft. I have to say that the life for Java might be numbered. When current Microsoft license expires, Java might have further limited use.
Then why spend time to develop another craps? I think they better spend on a Good-Look GUI project that can compete against MFC packages. - Posted by: Wagadonga Posted on: 05/10/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
