From the editorial link on the UT main page, this guy has a conversation with three friends that are developers:

All three of them swear by Java. What was once considered iffy and experimental is now the standard. We talked about .NET, and our conversations led me to the following conclusion: although .NET is a huge improvement over the old Microsoft way, it makes only incremental improvements over J2EE -- none of which are compelling enough to convince a Java shop to rewrite everything in C#.

After three Java zealots talk about .NET, which I'm guessing they probably only know by reading Sun's anti-C# BS, he decides to write this article, saying .NET offers very little over Java.

Yeah... that sounds like excellence achieved in journalism. Lol
