Then each two years Microsoft changes .NET version and add new features, new concepts, new languages, etc. There was Visual Studio 2003, then appears Visual Studio 2005, then VS 2008 and then VS 2010, and so on. It started with Framework 1.1, then came 2.0, then 3.5 and then 4.0. > > For Java is similar? Did it have an evolution in a similar way? What is your metric of similarity? You can google for Java's history, or look on Oracle's web site for the version history. The amount of change between versions varies. There were really only minor changes from Java 1.2 to Java 1.4, then a major change (including version-numbering nomenclature) between Java 1.4 and Java 5, then smaller changes between Java 5 and 6, then somewhat bigger changes between Java 6 and Java 7. Meanwhile every new release brought about changes in the library. Plus within each major release there were minor releases for bug and security fixes. So again, what are your metrics for size of change and for similarity to a whole different platform? And GIYF. -- Lew
