Bringing the J2EE Cathedral to the Bazaar

O'Reilly is running an article by Satya Komatineni that examines some issues with Sun and J2EE. "While Sun is quite diligently planning, coordinating, and building infrastructure for building cathedrals around J2EE, Microsoft's .NET is poised to steal the marketplace and own the bazaar, as they did with VB and the component market in the client-server wars. We have some parallels to go by. While CORBA focused on rearing thoroughbreds, COM stole the market with a mule called VB. The only way out of this quandary is to wake up and invite the J2EE cathedral to the bazaar."
