Seems Sun might have switched sides....again.

Its not that they have changed sides...
its more that they have just realised that they don't have the cash to fight in court indefinately, whereas M$ does..
so they settled for a big chunk of change.
An upside is that all future versons of windows, including service packs for existing ones.. will have Suns Java instead of M$ VM.
Meaning that all those banking sites that only work with M$ VM will not work on those OS's... and if they get fixed to work with
the sun java on win, they will work for us on linux as well.
And Sun will still be competing with M$ on servers and on the desktop.. so really all they did was give up on the case about M$ playing around with Java....
