Let me know when MicroSoft Word is rewritten in Java.

Hi BioFreak, Speaking for myself,
Java and C# are nonstarters because they don't have " #define "
and otherwise ignore the VC++ legacy.

Worse, they _ Force _ you to use their insane ( baby-talk )
memory management, and they make you do a dance
when you try to use pointers, cluttering up the source code.

Java source code is just plane _ Ugly _ , if you ask me.

Java does well on servers,
but will likely never have a large presence on the desktop.
