Why do people keep comparing C# to Java? It only replaces Java in one very limited context, and that is as a COM binder. Since Sun killed MS's use of Java via their lawsuit, MS needed a new language to replace it. C# does not even begin to compete with Java it's biggest areas: C# is not cross platform. It is compiles to .exe, not byte code. That kills any applet hopes C# may have. C# is not a server plugin technology. Modern servers require threading that C# does not provide. The announcement of C# does nothing to affect Sun. Anm *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
