This kind of thing won’t help Sun

Blatantly biased (note the “Prepared for Sun Microsystems” right at the top) whitepapers like J2EE vs. Microsoft.NET by Chad Vawter and Ed Roman of The Middleware Company will not be swallowed whole by developers. Even with ‘promises’ like “We promise to compare these choices at a logical, neutral, and unbiased level.” Bought and paid for analysis is usually worth a lot less than it costs.
