Re: Mac OS X Java Performance moved to X-Code

If they were at all serious about the corporate market, they wouldn't have dropped support for EOF using Cocoa.
Apple's only "enterprise" offering is WebObjects (which continually has quality problems with every release) and a little java compatibility. That's just not going to cut it. If they really want to pick up the corporate space, they'd do well to freeze java development where it is and put some effort into getting Mono mature and ported onto OSX to absorb what will definitely be a huge number of .NUT applications.

As an example, I attended the Denver XPDeveloper's group meeting last week - the QWEST CIO has taken the bold step of adopting XP development throughout the organization - and standardizing on .NET web services as the info sharing bus across the enterprise. Guess how many macs they are going to buy this year?

That is a valid consideration. If Apple wants to focus its efforts in the
consumer space (where they've had a lot of success recently) I can't fault
them for it.

While java performance may seem sub-par, making it really
great is not as likely to sell more macs as say a new web browser.

If they are at all serious about growing their corporate market, they have
to do a better job.
