Thought you all would be interested in this:
According to ZDNet UK, "On 21 December, ZDNet posted a story reporting the
preliminary results of this poll, which showed a large majority of
respondents who said they planned to deliver applications via Web services
by the end of 2002 favoured Java for the job. At the time, Java outranked
.Net by a factor of three in this poll. By early January, the position had
reversed; the results are shown here. An investigation indicated that
Microsoft employees used vote-rigging to distort the results."

Is Microsoft really that desperate? :)
