Why Java is Better than .Net

Another article to keep .Net developers under pressure !

Carlos Perez with this series not going to make new friends ;-)

Apparently it's a growing list and he's actuallly at 82 items ! Guys I would like to see something like that about Java, just for the balance !

I know that on his post on the left stand a superb Java.Blog icon ! I was looking for troubles there.

Some parts:

13. Future Proof
Java is future proof or rather future portable, in the sense that your existing code base will not become obsolete. How so? I can run Java on machines today and machines in the future. You don't have that assurance for Microsoft's technologies like .NET. A vivid example is their support for for VB6, which has been set to expire. It's crucial to consider that every development has a ROI that spans several years. How many years was DNA around before Microsoft declared it obsolete?
Carlos seem to be able to read in the cards or he has Nostradamus book in hands

The next one is coool ! Does it include coffee beans ?

20. More Searchable References
A search in Google of for "C#" hits 1,720,000 documents, for "Visual Basic" hits 3,270,000. In comparison a search for Java hits 32,100,000, almost 10 times more than even Visual Basic.

25. Higher Paying Jobs
On the average a Java programmer earns quantitatively more than a VB programmer with the same number of years experience.

I knew it was for the money ! I am a poor lonesome developer...

9. More Available Jobs
A search on Monster.com will quickly reveal that there are 10 times more jobs that require Java skill than C# jobs. In fact a third of C# jobs require Java skills.

Carlos, not true in every country !
