And here's the last paragraph of that article, which has nothing
much to do with Java:

# Microsoft, meanwhile, has recently begun developing a set of Internet
# services, called .NET. based on another programming language, called
# XML. The .NET strategy calls for selling a series of paid services
# over the Internet that users can access on any computer device. This
# could range from booking plane flights to buying concert tickets.

XML, a programming language?

"Like the thirteenth stroke of a crazy clock, this paragraph casts doubt

not only on itself, but on all that has come before."
