   And you still try to change the topic. Let's try again

   On the subject of java being a generic term, you failed to answer the =
question and instead stated that it is as generic to you as ..NET = without
answering that either.  Are you unable or unwilling to give a = clear yes
or no answer?

  Bullsh*t.

  You are simply trying to say that Java is a a brand applied to many=20
  things where .Net is some srt of tight spec. That is bullsh*t. .Net is =
a=20
  branding exercise.

  Do you ever feel like a mushrom?

  ROFLMAO. Do you rock backwards & forwards when you type stuff like =
this?=20
  It is a branding exercise. B R A N D I N G .

  .Net Connected.....Net Passport...what's the first & foremost part of=20
  that name.....Gee it's almost like you've evolved nostrils on top of=20
  your head given the depth of cr*p you're spreading.

  ROFLMAO. Ummmmmm you were the one who introduced the java is a sun =
brand=20
  comment to which I simply pointed out that that made it just like =
.Net.

  People were asking what .Net is (many are similarly confused) & the=20
  obvious & correct answer is that it is a Microsoft Branding exercise.

  Sun have used it as a B R A N D. Just like .Net(TM MicroSoft) is a B R =

  Of course you do coz things like marketing are too much to burden yu =
with.

  Gosh could they? I'm sure there are lots of ECMA/ISO stds. Does MS=20
