Sun CEO's Claim That JavaFX Is the Fastest Growing RIA Platform: Completely Untrue

Yeah what a surprise, more crazy On2 investors who want to take over the comments section proclaiming how good On2 is. You've only posted two comments ever on SeekingAlpha.com and both of them are on this post, saying how good On2 is.

Great argument you have there for H.264, which you say can't be open source since it has license fees. Since when does a license fee determine if something is open source? Clueless.

I have no stake in any of these companies, don't trade stocks and post under my own name. Can't say the same thing for you Mr. "JavaFxRox".

These On2 investors who want to bash anything that does not say "On2 is great" are just weak.

Sun CEO's Claim That JavaFX Is the Fastest Growing RIA Platform: Completely Untrue

I'm talking video apps. Keep in mind that Jonathan's post was not talking about just Java. He was also talking about JavaFX, video, audio etc... he included all of that in one post, all wrapped together.

Not my fault if you want to complain that they should all be looked at individually. Clearly he is not looking at them that way. He is the one who used words like "open source", "Java", "JavaFX", "video", "audio" all in one post, tying it all together.

Sun CEO's Claim That JavaFX Is the Fastest Growing RIA Platform: Completely Untrue

My response to some questions/comments:

- I don't know of any third party company that validated numbers between Adobe, Microsoft and Sun.

- I understand the difference between Java and JavaFX. I cover video specifically and that's what I care about. In Jonathan's blog post he specifically used the word "video". Show me one video application that has been adopted on the market using JavaFX.

- Microsoft, Adobe and hundreds of other vendors buy ads on StreamingMedia.com and in our magazine. But this post comes from my personal blog at BusinessOfVideo.com of which both Adobe and Microsoft are not sponsors. And if they were, that would be clearly displayed on the blog under "sponsors" for anyone to see.

- In reference to JavaFX "User 362632" says that "being opensource it has a better chance to be way more robust than any of the competition." How can you call JavaFX opensource when it does not support any open source video codecs?

Sun Launches JavaFX to Try and Compete with Flash & Silverlight

Sling and Hulu don't use progressive download, they are streaming. And Netflix streams to the XBOX, it does not download. And Silverlight is not a set top box or a portable player, it is a software platform. You refer to Vudu as a service provider that uses P2P, except that they don't. You are comparing a whole bunch of different things together that make no sense.

My guess, you work for mytvpal.com since you mention them six times which is a crappy solution that no one uses, that does not even support Mac players and has a company website that has home foreclosure ads on their pages.
