Sun can blame everything on Microsoft if it wants to, but I think it should look inside its own house before it starts blaming everyone else for its problems. Java is a big success, so who cares if Microsoft includes it in their products anyway? Sun should take a good look at what it has to offer developers and then look at what MS has done and they'll see where they are falling short. Developers today want tools that aren't 15 years old. Most Solaris developers are still stuck using X-windows and emacs and vi. It's no wonder developers find the MS offerings more appealing and that more development tool companies are writing for the Win platform and not Unix. If Sun wants to compete with Microsoft for desktop users, then forcing Microsoft to include Sun's Java in their products is certainly not going to get Sun even one more sale! This is not rocket science. Sun is not giving developers what they want and it appears they really don't know how to do it! --RJ "Fred A. Miller" wrote:
