To Bill Grates, er, Scott McPealy. Linux threatens Sun's Solaris and every other proprietary UNIX operating system. False, Linux isn't a threat Solaris on the high end. Besides, Sun makes money from hardware, software and services whether or not Linux is running the box or not. As long as Sun controls Java it will fail. It's not failing, on the contrary: it's growing at an unprecedented rate and that's why Sony, Motorola, Ericsson, IBM and the rest of the industrialized world is adopting Java technologies in large segments of their respective market spaces. Java is an international standard being guided by Sun and following on the heels of C++. It's Microsoft that is trying to make Java fail by not supporting JNI and other critical components of the technology. The last time I checked, the Windows API's and Visual Basic were controlled by Microsoft with no input from anybody whatsoever. Java is a money making racket for university computers science graduates... Sorry, once you reach the level of stupidity you've managed to achieve with that statement the conversation ends, as does my reading of the rest of your crap.
