[DUG] Skill shortage?

[Guy.Brown at sungard.com]

XAML is just a GUI definition language so I don't see how that means
that m$ is going to kill .net?  It might make your current WinForms
solution obsolete but .net as a language & runtime environment is here
to stay.

Nah, Sun must be stoked at the number of future Java developers getting
trained by m$ (is there even a Java equivalent of MSDN?) And m$ have
basically committed to killing dotnet with that whole xaml thing in the
future (though it won't look like that when they announce it - if it
ever does eventuate).

Meanwhile everyone just keeps building better (for various meanings of
'better') web apps.

Cheers, Kurt.
