Java--definitely, yes.

.NET--if not now, then very very soon. See these links:

On this general topic--related to the licensing subthread--could someone

with some perspective on current software trends and standards please 
clarify some confusion on my part?

Is there some point of tangency between the Linux OS world and the Web 
Services--Java/J2EE--.NET world? In other words, if one writes software 
that plays nice in the latter universe, will it be able to run 
transparently on Linux-based systems? Or am I asking a nonsensical 
apples-and-oranges question?

Help?

Thanks,

Dick
