>Ironically I was one of the ones who DID move to Java 7 years ago for the very reason espoused by the "prophets" today. I learned the hard lesson that without dotCOM silly-dollars backing me, the rapidly evolving Java environment was expensive and uncompetitive with VFP, or with VB for that matter. Now I must endure the latter-day prophets scoffing and calling names because 7 years later they have made the same "discoveries" and think they have discovered electricity.

Ok but Java was'nt invented by MS. So really how good could it really be? But now this is the real deal ;-)
