It may not be a bad thing if Java is owned by some independent standard comitte. This way other companies will be able to endorsed with no doubt that it is an open standard. And it will only help SUNW if Java is getting popular and standardized on all platforms since SUNW can sell more products based on Java. Of course, SUNW may need to get some returns for the investment in Java since SUNW has spent the most efforts in this area for Java to become a standard. This probably can come from the license fees that it gets from all the licensees.

Since SUNW's revenue is not based on Java at all, it may not be that worse even Java is not voted.

I view Java is different than windows since windows run mostly on PCs while Java needs to run on all platforms even on Windows.

This is jsut IMO.

Long on SUNW.
