The MSFT response certainly sounds defensive. The way I understood the Activator announcement, it comes into play only if non-100% Java compatible features of the IE (i.e, related to JDK 1.1) or Netscape Navigator are encountered. It does nothing to hamper the fast implementation of Virtual Machine on Win 32. The more technically literate folks on this thread are requested to shed light on this. The "Activator" fix (because that is what it essentially is) for less than pure Java applications seems like a technology solution to ensure the loyalty of the developers. I was surprised also that they were able to come up with something so quickly. The courts will determine how much flexiblity software and operating systems vendors have in re-defining (or fragmenting) SUNW Java vision of Write Once / Run Everywhere. Regards
