Yes but you pigeon-holed yourself with that statement alone.  Let me
ask you, what percentage of the computing market do you think is
PC-based?  If you say more than about 30% you'll be in for one helluva
surprise my friend..  <g>  When MS went into court about the antitrust
legislation they themselves said they're only in control of about 15%
of the ENTIRE computing market..  While I think that's a bit low (and
said only to garner sympathy for themselves) I can tell you working
for manufacturing companies in the Seattle area that the *real* work
is NOT being done on MS-SQL or with 95 or NT..  And while, for example
TCI did license WinCE for their Set-top box, did you visit the Sun
site lately?  TCI *also* licensed personal Java for the same boxes.
Looks like they want to design something that uses both technologies
togther.

Java will be around as long as the *need* for cross-platform
development exists.
