Sun's groundbreaking programming language vaulted to popularity with Web developers. But now it's losing ground to a raft of upstarts.

Actually, most of the Java developers I know do all of their development on Windows machines, regardless of what platform the binaries will ultimately be deployed to...once they finish their work, it's up to the operations/deployment teams to figure the rest out (as far as ironing out the plaftorm specific kinks). At least that's how it's been on the larger projects I've worked on. In reality, most Java guys have nothing against Windows or .Net...they chose to be Java devs, just like I chose .Net. As it relates to corporate IT, the platforms are more complimentary than supplementary, and work great together if done right.

Amazingly, that's almost completely the opposite of the truth. All the Java development I have ever done, whether small, medium or enterprise scale, and whether corporate or personal, has ended up running on a unix box.
Agreed. I think people interested in Windows and not necessarily other platforms are going to be more into .NET than Java.
