The Ada vendors can easily get Bill Gates' blessing. All they have to do

Ada can be used to impugn both SUN's and IBM's credibility.

It is a bit too late for good old Ada.

Now, if the name could be changed, the syntax altered to look like C++
( Yuck ! ) and MS persuaded to market it as Bill .NET, then it might
have a chance :-)
