Does Microsoft have anything even remotely like JCP?

I know this is an odd place to post a question like this. But I was wondering if Microsoft had anything even remotely like Sun's Java Community Process Program ( http://www.jcp.org/ )?

It seems like such a great idea, and if Microsoft is going to compete with Java, it would seem like a good idea for them too. Not having it would be a real turn off for .NET, to me anyway.

Hi,

I have great disdain fo MS (I do not like MS), but what they have done with Visual Dot NET is beyond cmprehension.

I have to admit, that part of it is a pure copy of java, with a few changes and called C##.

It is actually very good, sadly!

So, is MS competing? Too right they are.

It appears that the big players , i.e. IBM, SUN and MS are developing together.

That's nice,

best
