Quote;In late 2000, Sun and Microsoft had agreed to settle an earlier lawsuit over Java in which Sun claimed Microsoft violated the Java license agreement by making proprietary changes to Java. The two agreed that Microsoft would eventually stop supporting Java in its products, but Morris said this suit is broader than the earlier one.

While my opinion of Microsucks is pretty low (bloatware beyond reason) It looks to me as if Sun cut its own throat on this one.

I am currently using JAVA to do some neat stuff on a website I am building. I like the ability to activate certain actions, making a site more attractive.
As usual, the end user gets trampled when the elephants fight.
