MS has a good idea
>> But that requires Java and with the ego they've invested in the anti-Java campaign I can't see them doing that. Does an application server based on C# make sense? Isn't that .NET? Can they overcome Java's market share? <<
The idea of .NET is that multiple languages can allegedly use it. They even brought in Bertrand Meyer's group to port Eiffle. That way one is not stuck with just one programming language (Java).
Unlike SUN, they are only hogging the API, not the language(s).
>> Negative coverage from Gartner and others is going to make selling .NET even tougher. <<
If MS shuts down all the mostly unused gizmos on IIS defaults, most of their security problems will go away. It is the extra's that leave the most holes.

Re: MS has a good idea
Good idea?
Portable?
Point me to all the non-Windows ports of .NET.

Re: Point me to all the usable non-Sun ports of Java
For a JRE, I'm rather partial to the [link|http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux130/?dwzone=java|IBM implementation]. Apparently their dev tools are nifty, too.

More usable than Sun's, faster than Microsoft's.
IBM is my JVM of choice.

Well, off the top of my head

Not a significant consideration . .
. . because most current languages are being retrofitted to optionally produce Java byte code.
Any software developer with the business awareness of a jellyfish (12%?) should clearly see what happens to Microsoft "partners" by now. The choice should be pretty obvious to any sentient being.
