Open source needs to stick it to these guys at every turn, not only to give us another option but this keeps them on their toes. For instance, nowadays, ms is really trying to develop standards compliant webpages with expression web. Why? I doubt it's from the goodness of their hearts, this is because mozilla is forcing them to remain relevant by complying to standards. I for one, will use OSS whenever possible. Openlaszlo costs a bundle, silverlight too, forget adobe - so I gladly welcome FX. It's by time java looked at the beauty and visual aesthetics aspect of computing. Linux has had to transform itself in that direction. It is hands-down the better OS, but visually it cant even begin to compete with apple and ms --as a result you cant even give away linux to people who would rather pay for an insecure 'OS' like vista or xp. Thats my 2 pence Java did well to ‘get back in the race’ by directly confronting the adobe and ms behemoths.

They seem destined NOT to support Java. Could Sun please get in touch with Apple to get IPhone to support Javafx? They seem destined NOT to support Java.
