I read http://freeroller.net/comments/Sosume?anchor=another_ignorant_discussion_on_net today, about http://weblogs.asp.net/jprismon/posts/9824.aspx and I felt the need to comment (nothing like a good .NET vs Java argument, is there?)

Exactly which comments are ignorant? I'd say I agree with most of his comments. I might argue the toss on:

• (4) - I only have superficial .NET, so I can't argue too hard
• (14) - I'd say MIDP & J2ME are stronger in the market than the compact framework.
• (16) - I don't quite follow the argument here. Security: java has a pretty good case here. Message Queue: use JMS. Transactions: JTA. JIT Activation: javax.activation.* Threading: java.lang.Thread
