Oracle To Monetize Java VM 641
jtotheh writes "According to the Register, Oracle is going to make two tiers of Java Virtual Machine — a free one and a premium paid one. 'Adam Messinger, Oracle vice president of development, told QCon that Oracle plans to offer a "premium" edition of the JDK in addition to the open-source JDK. Both, it seems, will be based on a converged JRockit VM and the Hotspot JVM from Sun Microsystems. The converged JVM will be released under the OpenJDK project. ... Messinger didn't explain how the premium JVM would differ [from] the free version, but the premium edition will likely see performance tuning and tie-ins to Oracle's middleware.'"

No, this is the birth of new opportunities in the java landscape, this is a clear sign of Oracle's dedication to the java community. The high-end Mercedes offering will finally allow you to look down on those Fiat drivers and know that your money is well spent.

They're clearly trying to be the biggest trolls on the entire Internet. Ever.

because both C-pound or C-octothorpe sound stupid, while c-sharp is clever
What, the name Coctothorpe doesn't sound awesome to you?
I think it's almost as strong a name as Octopussy...
...now wait a second. What if we named it Octothorpussy? We could shorten that to #Pussy or just #P, and then just colloquially call it "Sharpie".
