On a tangential note, I always find it so comical that, way back when, Oracle paid billions to acquire Sun Microsystems, not because of their great high tech (SPARC chips and Solaris OS), but because "Java is installed on a billion computers" (that was the silly Java plugin which almost nobody used, and which everyone hated) ... they really believed Sun's marketing mumbo jumbo ;)
Years later Oracle killed SPARC, then Solaris, then Java EE, and then they wrote off the last remaining bits of their failed astronomical investment ... utter incompetence of the "suits" in higher management.
P.S. I'm not a Java hater, it's a great language for the backend and it's utilized heavily for big enterprise systems, it's sort of the new COBOL, but on the frontend it was always a bit of a joke, and the biggest joke of all were Java Applets, what an epic failure that was ;)
