The results of a recent survey by ComponentSource, an established marketplace for reusable software components, show Microsoft Corp. is beating Sun Microsystems in the early stages of a battle for mindshare in the Web services community.
ComponentSource surveyed a representative sample of its 500,000 developer members to find out the adoption rates for both Microsoft .NET and Sun’s Enterprise Java Bean model. According to its findings, 79 percent of its user base is evaluating, or plans to evaluate .NET only, compared to just 14 percent for EJB only. Only seven percent said they have plans for both platforms.
