That last post was more negative than I meant it to be... There were several interesting things of note down here; The unification (at some point in the future) of all the "flavors" of Java into a single Java System - one that incorporates devices, servers, and desktop. Also, the "Java Everywhere" slogan did seem to ring with the attendees.  The stats about 550M Java desktops, and 1.2B java devices is staggering...

Although I love grandious quotes like "If it's on the Web and you want it to do interesting things, it's running Java" from Jonathan Schwartz - I know that every company says things like this, but it's great to say Amazon doesn't do interesting things :)  (from what I hear they dod custom software on a custom OS for their backend <G>)
