Today, if Java survives AT ALL, it may only be as a language which is owned or at least dominated by Microsoft.

Sad to see the Microsoft hype finding yet another target. This is exactly the mindset that Redmond encourages - hopelessness and despair in the face of the marketing juggernaut. Come out with your hands up, we have you surrounded.

If they win this particular battle, I'm afraid they will have pretty much won the war. That will be bad for Inprise, another brick in the enterprise development tools wall - this is not about Java or any other individual piece, it's about market domination.
