I think most of the new developers will be doing Android, whcih we are 
perfectly geared to assist with. The desktop of the future is the tablet 
and the faster we accelerate that the faster Winderz becomes a has-been.

Platform growth is generally about brain-share. Linux beat BSD mostly 
because companies grew it and contributed back to the brain share. Red 
Hat beat most of the others distributions because they got a lot of 
brain-share engaged.

As much as I think Java is bloat-ware, Android gives it a new lease on 
life and is the next thing for 5-10 years.
