DaHat writes "Don Box, one of the authors of the original SOAP 
specification in 1998, now an architect on Microsoft's next generation 
Indigo platform recently responded to James Gosling's remarks regarding 
huge security holes within the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). Don 
argues that the same 'flaws' that Gosling noted in the .NET CLR exist 
both within the Solaris operating system as well as the JVM, both of 
which support execution of C and C++ code, as well as explaining why 
this is not necessarily a bad thing."
