Are you offering your services?
Is Java up to USB communications with a HID device?

At that point, we will switch to Linux. We are already running Linux and Open Office pilot projects in certain departments, and we are impressed with the results. It's going to save us a LOT of money in the long run; no more vicious upgrade cycle, better security, and better reliability.

I think a lot of corporate environments are experimenting with open source solutions or thinking of doing so. When a critical mass of companies begin using Linux, it will be come more commonplace in people's homes. People tend to use at home what they're accustomed to using at work.

Excellent.

.Net can interact with HID devices (Vista comes with .net 3.0 preinstalled)
(search for c# HID on google)

Java can do the same thing with JNI but then its not cross platform so no advantage there.

BTW Eclipse is an IDE that can be used for lots of languages/frameworks

Ok, folks, who would like to beta test the Vista version of the LogCard utility? Email me directly and I'll be ready with a link to download it within the next week.
