The article made a point of distinguishing the comparison between Java and C# as languages, not between Java and .NET as platforms.

  Be that as it may, that seems like an awfully artificial cop-out. "Oracle's the best database ever!" "It costs half a million dollars!" "I made a specific point of distinguishing its technological merits as a relational database backend, not the dollars involved in purchasing it."

    There's a lot of contexts where cost/benefit is not so much a cop-out as it is a more relevant point! (Not an Oracle advocate by any means!)

      I agree. I meant that it is not an effective reply to its parent.
