I agree.  I'm not sure how you guys feel about the discussion of C# vs Java.  
The reason I'm asking to take it offline is because I don't think language is 
warrant to debate over a platform that uses a standard protocol for 
interoperability.

However may I interest you to:

There's an article written by Jim Farley comparing C# vs Java.  Jim Farley is 
the author of the book Java Distributed Computing.

http://java.oreilly.com/news/farley_0800.html

To make it a comparative analysis, it's best to find a proponent in the C# 
camp to write about C# vs Java.  

But you know right now, the only platform that runs C# is Microsoft.  C# 
can't claim to be cross platform.
