I don't get much exposure to the real buzz (being completely surrounded by .NET and related marketing at work), so I don't know if that's the case here or not. When you say the buzz is "still around" J2EE, are you expecting that buzz go wax or wean over the next few years? And what about the relative momentum of C#/.NET? And, as I'm woefully ignorant of J2EE, what does it provide that C# doesn't (or doesn't provide well)?
