While we could all wish that wasn't so (and I certainly do), it should
come as no surprise whatsoever -- at least not to anyone who has ever
tried to juggle multiple release streams and their priorities/schedules
themselves.

While Chet and Hans are great engineers and they will be greatly
missed (and good friends of mine), I hope we can get a bit of
perspective here. They are two engineers out of hundreds. Two
engineers don't make or break an entire technology stack, even when
they are important engineers. We have lots of great people working on
Desktop Java and JavaFX, many who have been at Sun for a decade or
more. We'll be fine. :)

Regarding people leaving for Adobe: would you say that Adobe should
worry if one of their top engineers on Photoshop or Lightroom went to
MS?

The movement to build RIAs and the battle (if we should call it that)
between the RIA platforms is far bigger than a few engineers, and it's
going to be around far longer than the couple of years the platforms
have been competing. We are talking about merging the desktop with
the web (which, btw, is *awesome*). This is a long term trend that
will eventually be on every human facing device you have.
