Where are you getting your information?
COM (DCOM is really just COM with a some distribution features, COM+
is the new thing) runs on other platforms besides Microsoft
(Sun and HP, if I recall correctly). Granted, though, it's primary
use is on WinX platforms.
Microsoft didn't kill J++ as far as I can tell. About six months ago
they released
VisualJ++ 6.0. Check out this Q&A at Microsoft's web site for details
about the court ruling: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualj/vjfaq.asp

If your market was PC's, and you intended to run your code only on
PC's (for whatever reason), does that make you an idiot fo using a technology
which is well supported on the PC platform?

I'm not saying M$ is great stuff, but a lot of developers are using it, and
that does give a developer the benefit of a large base of coders banging
away at problems and finding work-arounds for M$ weirdities.
I think you're burying your head in the sand if you don't recognize that
M$ is and will continue to be a force to reckon with in the software
world.
