    Is it me or do some of these authors look a bit crusty . These people look so old that they need carbon dating to figure out their birthday . Please Alpha there must be writers out there that don't look like they drool in their breakfast bowl every morning . To state that Dell and Sun Micro will be at a loss with cloud computing is retarded . Who does he think will be making the hardware ? Amazon , no it will be the hardware makers plus they will sell more expensive hardware with lots of added software to manage them .

    Dennis Byron has drunk the "hate sun micro " kool aid . Sir can you post any favorable story on JAVA that you have ever written . Are you a paid basher ? That is what is left to believe when you see attack after attack without any reason and as for this article it is just not factual .
