Micr$oft should just buy Sun. Then they don't need to take Java out! ;)

>The settlement agreement between the companies prevents Microsoft from making any changes -- including any security fixes -- to our Java implementation after January 1, 2004

I don't think MS planned any security fixes until after 2004 anyway! :o

Wouldnt this be another thing for the case thats already against them?

Sun is the leader in Java right? So you take the leader of OSs and refuse the Leader of Java and put them out of biz now your the Leader of Java and OSs? Isnt that anti competative(SP?)?

What's anticompetitive is getting the courts to do what you couldn't do in the marketplace. ;)
