This is an answer to a question to a Microsoft product manager. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2002/jw-0308-j2eenet-p2.html#sidebar1 >>> By contrast, the J2EE specifications are just that -- specifications. They define a small portion of a complete platform focused on server-side application development. These specifications, such as the JSP and EJB specifications, clone the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system. For example, JSP is a direct clone of Microsoft's Active Server Pages, and EJB is a clone of some of Windows' COM+ features. J2EE is largely a set of specifications designed to make building server-side applications on Unix systems easier. <<< Is there a shred of truth to this spin, er, comment?
