'James Gosling, CTO of Sun's Developer Products group and the father of the 
Java programming language, has called Microsoft's decision to support C and 
C++ in the common language runtime in .Net one of the "biggest and most 
offensive mistakes that they could have made" in his speech to developers at 
an event in Sydney earlier this week. He further commented that by including 
the two languages into Microsoft's software development platform, the company 
"has left open a security hole large enough to drive many, many large trucks 
through."'
