Thanks for the pointer.

I know some people have some valid concerns about the ramifications of doing
this, but I think it  is only a matter of time, somewhat like the long
overlapping transition from DOS to Win32.

If only there was some way of refactoring the already highly developed
cross-platform Java systems so that they could provide a .NET like interface
to other languages.... Hmm. Is there anyone out there who is already familiar
with the technical and legal issues involved?
