I tend to disagree. Then as the writer says, it's game over: Bill Gates wins again. SUNW should not give away JAVA control to monopoly Microsoft. Under the fair competition, MSFT may not win the leadership. They will still have influence but not the leadership on JAVA. Compare the online service AOL and MSN, browser Navigator and Internet Explorer, you will find the 2:1 ratio in terms of market share. The trend is your friend also applies to technology. JAVA is the trend of software revolution, just like the PC hardware changed the mainframe world two decades ago. Even the mighty MSFT will comprise eventually. NC(or thin client) will not replace PC but it will gradually share the lucrative corporate IT with Windows. In many cases, people just use PC to access email/memo and database. With thousands of virus spread around the internet, the centralized server will be easier to maintain and control. And IT people love it.
