a great innovator...

Great to get an interview from Gosling. I think we have fewer and fewer innovators like that in IT. Seems like we need more VC inthe US funding great minds and ideas. Instead its being watered down and sent to India these days. I wonder if our the United States will havethe capacity to value its IT engineers like they used to do....thats the problem. Business sees absolutely NO value at all in Information Technology...its just a commodity to them....very sad!

Also, as a .NET person, and seeing how far Microsoft has taken this concept (and the power of the .NET framework for a wide range of developer types), what future does JAVA have? Where are they taking it? How does it fit with in with Web Standards, Web Services, XML, SOAP and that movement. Is that going to be something Microsoft caps offs and takes ownership of the next ten years? I would hate that, even though I love what .NET brings to the table, because XML and XHTML and services seem so much about simple open source incusion that any guy can innovate off of, rather than some prorietary stuff one company owns and corrupts and makes money off of at the expense of the developer community. Thats what is starting to happen with .NET's dev tools and SQL Server...its getting expensive!
