As you know, we are seeing opportunities all the time with Coherence for .NET, but it's rarely (if ever) to _replace_ Java, and often to meet the needs of organizations that have billions of dollars invested in both (and many more!) technologies. I think this next year will be a very exciting one for both of our companies :-) Peace, Cameron Purdy <a href="http://www.tangosol.com/" rel="nofollow">Tangosol Coherence: Data Grid for Java, C# and C++</a> Hi John, it’s not bias, it’s just how things evolve.
