I don't usually respond to aggresive mails, but I only wanted to say, that
the failure of OS/2 was because of thousands of reasons, and I'm sure that
having windows compatibility wasn't one of them for the most part.

Educate yourself a little further:

And for the rest, I dare YOU to come up with a better platform than C# or
Java, as you propose, so all of us can switch to it. I for one would be
dying to switch. Don't forget to include something resembling
ASP.NET<http://ASP.NET>,
ADO.NET <http://ADO.NET>, Gtk#, System.Xml, and so on...
Also, be aware of not getting into ANY software patent over there on the
process, so I can rest in peace at night.

Do yourself a favor and be nicer too, for a change.
