Java apps are very reliable. I remember creating VB apps years ago that would crash; had no idea why. Or they would run fine on MOST versions of Windows and then severly defect on others.

Eliminating checked exceptions is unwise. It will go towards making Java apps less reliable, guaranteed. .net should be ignored, as though it doesn't exist. It hasn't a leg to stand on unless there is a Virtual Machine for every platform and then why not make it interoperable with Java? This is not possible therfore the doom to failure (if you want to call it that).

It used to be I wondered about all these "new features" and APIs in Java and wondered, why? Now I just research .net (blissfully ignorant of .net) to find out why Sun has added this bloat to Java, its really sad. Sad that Sun would give .not the time of day.

I'll shut up now.
