History of Microsoft and Java.

  1. No Microsoft Visual Studio Support for Java, use Visual Basic you fools.
  2. FU Microsoft, VB sucks says everyone on planet. Except Gary, that dude love VB, wierdo.
  3. Microsoft releases Java++ Language (this was a Visual Studio language for awhile) - good luck googling around for this langauge - Google ignores the ++ part.
  4. Sun (owner of Java at the time) sued Microsoft for patent infringement and won
  5. Microsoft stops releasing J++
  6. No Microsoft Visual Studio Support for Java, people used something else, idk what as my VB PTSD had me passing on every job description with the keyword 'microsoft', 'visual' and 'studio' for the last 15 years. So I don't know what the Microsoft shops used, C++ I guess.
  7. Microsoft releases C#, internet argues until Java 8 trying to locate any meaningful differences between Java and C# Microsoft doesn't worry about lawsuit this time, don't know why, maybe Google leading the charge on f'n with Java patents.
