Re: Sun went thru the UNIX wars, painfully. The conflicts were in no small part caused by IBM's and others' desires to "embrace and extend (or obstruct)" the establishment of a standard Thomas, IBM isn't asking for java. They're telling Sun, do it right or turn it over to a standards group. I'm a little perplexed to what Sun's motives could possibly be, unless it's to become the next Microsoft. Java standards are extremely important to Sun's future. Sun's future processor technology is built with java in mind. IA64 will not perform well with java and IA64 is the long term threat to Sun. If java fragments and java is no longer important, Sun's future servers will be nothing spectacular. On the other hand, if java runs everything the IA64 architecture will be at a severe disadvantage. To me, it seems far more important for Sun to insure java's future than to keep control and force fragmentation. BWDIK, maybe Sun is trying to create a "microsoft style" monopoly with java. chic
