It was pretty good. I personally like Java but think Sun should free it.
My impression in different forums is that hackers tend to be really
strict about Free/Open Source software and avoid Java. I think this base
set of developers would consider using Java if it was free. Corporate
type developers and others that are not so principle oriented when it
comes to Free Software should certainly support Microsoft alternatives
as they have too much market share and FUD to go around. I could ramble
all day on this subject so I'll stop.
Anyway, thanks.
