| Microsoft takes a swing at Java : Comment 11 of 13 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Brad Jacobsen on 25-Jun-2000 22:00 GMT | Sounds like M$ is still doing what they do best; copy, steal, and or buy-out any threatening technology that appears in the market. The scary fact that developers write apps for WINCE, even though there are better alternatives available leads me to believe that no matter how crappy M$ C# may turn out to be, it will most likely succeed commercially.
As I recall, M$ was also very adept at slowing/squashing potential threats by 'announcing' products that were vapor. Claiming their product would be much better than the newly emerging (condensed) technology that rival company X is releasing, essentially keeping their current legions of lemmings from considering the new tech until M$ eventually (if ever), employs it.
Oh well, we should've seen this coming. Who knows? Maybe C# will turn out to be as cool and innovative as direct 3D, OLE/ActiveX, or even BOB!!! Aaaaaaaaaagh!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
