.Net is a Joke (Allegedly)

Sun Microsystems' chief executive Scott McNealy was in fine fighting form as he traveled through Asia this week, uttering scathing sound bites about rival Microsoft.

In Singapore on Wednesday, he hit out at the company's .Net software tools before the region's assembled press.

"The world is down to two developer camps: One is .Net, the other is Sun ONE Java. Java is the number one development platform. Viruses are a feature in .Net, but Java has security built in. I find it funny how the default setting in Win XP lets in Office macros but blocks Java," he told an amused audience.

"Sun ONE runs on every system and processor," the chief executive said. ".Net runs only on Windows. It's mankind versus Microsoft. .Net is a joke."
