I believe Java will have great impact in the longer term, however that does not necissarily mean greater profits for Sun. What Java does is make it a clearly level playing field for all vendors. That may be worth lots of money to many companies if it can unseat the MS grip on the desktop. I believe that is Suns goal and why Oracle, IBM, and others support it - besides the fact that it makes software development much simpler accross all platforms. But lets not equate Java to immediate profts. I think Java helps ensure that companies other than MS can continue to survive, hence ensuring potential for future growth and profit.
