Olu: Why would I want MSFT's java to work on another O/S? The fact that they have a java that runs better on Windows does not hurt the one that runs so slowly on my Mac except by comparison. It seems to me that it is Sun that is stifling innovation by insisting that no one can "tweak" java. By the way there is no one java client that will work on all platforms. SUNW is trying to pull a MSFT from the network to the desktop rather than the way MSFT did it. They want to control the lingua franca of the net and be the licensor and certifier of the various platforms who need their own unique clients. MSFT just built their own unique client that works better than others as they (as you have admitted) know there own O/S the best. By the way even if MSFT broke up the DOJ would probably require that they check their brains at the door everyday to let the gov't and the rest of the industry catch up. JFD
