here's where I take issue. What is the "royalty" for personal java that sun.com will get from sa? also, as I understand it, sun does not "sell" microsparc II processors. They design them and then license LSI or someone to manufacture it and sell it. They get a "royalty" from each MS II sold. The MS II is equivelant to an Intel Celeron. Intel gets $50 to $80 a piece for a Celeron. If LSI gets $50 for it's MS II, then Sun.COM, MUST get something much less than this.

So, I still don't see the BIG numbers that you do with these economics. Are these the economics as you understand them?

PS: Personal Java is layered on top of the OS that controls the unit. Personal Java does not, as i understand it, CONTROL the unit. Again, how much do you get paid for THAT?
