Sun Launches Activator Software NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sun Microsystems is rolling out software called "Activator" that it says will compensate for any incompatibilities between Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser and programs written in the "official" Java language. According to a report in today's Wall Street Journal, Activator will circumvent Microsoft's version of Java, thwarting what Sun claims are Microsoft's attempts to limit the spread of Sun's universal programming language. Java-based programs, which can be delivered in the World Wide Web, are supposed to run on virtually any type of computer, overcoming problems of machines and software that do not work with each other, the newspaper noted. However, in October, Sun sued Microsoft, alleging that the Redmond, Wash., company is trying to disrupt the development of Java by failing to keep its implementations of Java compatible with Sun's specifications.
