> The new Java applications are NOT credible threats to traditional PC software any time soon Well, Nathan was right there. But even with Java as (depending on where you look) 2nd, 3rd or 4th popular programming language, how many of those applications are being run on Windows hardware? Developed maybe, but deployed? Ultimately Microsoft didn't get stung too badly by this, since they embraced Linux on the server but it's weird to see them talking about how it's "expanding into a vaccuum" so early, batting around what to do about it when we know now that ultimately Windows lost that battle. > Continue to "embrace and extend" - both at the level of new Java tools (like J++), and our broader browser strategy. Kind of an "Oh my god, he admit it!" moment, it's wild to remember how open they were on the EEE strategy.
