So who is fat and happy? The C/C++ crowd?


I posted this in another thread but it seem applicable to your comments:

On the cover of the March 22, InfoWorld:

Microsoft May Jolt Java

Side Bar: Signs of Microsoft's waning support:

Reluctance to embrace Java2 in its software

Apparent backing-off of support for its Java tool on Windows CE

Appeal of a November court order to implement Java as Sun sees fit

Seeking court permission to develop an alternative to Java


Java 2 is getting good reviews in the press. If MS does not upgrade J++ to Java 2 specs, I would say that a fairly dismal sign for future support.
