Fred, thanks. that '..cede control of Java' is what I was refering to.

I read it from yahoo.com.

Java is definite a threat. It seems to start catching on
everywhere. It's a very difficult to unseat the wintel. Give
sunw a BIG credit. It's a good start.

Didn't we see MSFT selling that dinky '?? window-ce' OS for
hand-held devices and they want Java FREE, for the sake of "OPEN".

Give me a break, MSFT.

The Java-enabled applications will kill that. Uh,Uh, that is a NO,NO,
from MSFT's CEOs standpoint. MSFT/INTC and the guys dependent on
wintel platform for profit will tear off the 'J-section' in their
dictionary.

While it's not clear who will eventually win, it's kind of fun to
see those guys running for their lives, instead of commanding,
dictating everything.
