Guy,
Must be because your in the UK where it has not been front page news like
here. The problem with Jave and Sun revolves around MicroSoft creating language
extensions for their Visual J++ that would only work on Windows and Internet
Explorer. That was why Sun went after MicroSoft since the original intent was
to create a programming language that would be platform independent but MS was
making things platform dependent. A VERY old MicroSoft thing. Now they have
been slapped, so like any other spoiled kid they've decided to take their ball
and go home, namely they are not shipping/installing a JVM in XP and Visual J++
is now history. With any luck they'll stay there too.
BTW: Any of you heard about MS's .net strategy? I've a letter from the
Gates on my desk about it. Seems according to that letter you guys will be able
to create XML based services that I can include in my applications. Now I
wonder how long you'll let me do that without paying you a royalty?? According
to the Gates, forever.

See, I don't get it. Microsoft bundle a bunch of stuff with their OS,
and the anti-MS camp complain about Microsoft's so-called monopoly (or
monopolistic practices, which aren't the same thing). And then Microsoft
don't bundle some stuff with their OS, and the exact same people start
complaining again... about what exactly? You can still download Java
onto Windows easily, it's no big deal, what is the problem here?
