As I just wrote to a friend:

# TBH, I'm tired of waiting for a decent Java implementation on
FreeBSD.
# Microsoft not only chose FreeBSD as the reference platform, they
will
# show everyone the source code.
# 
# Hell it is tempting!

They will surely make extensions and sell them with high profits, but
with SUN we don't see the code, much less ANY support. (No offense to
out Java porting team, they are doing a good job but there's not much
they can do without SUN's interest.)

    Pedro.

ps...OK...I  honestly don't work for Microsoft. :)
