I don't know if they will do that. Once again, they will be inviting serious trouble. The government is already "not happy" with Microsoft's attitude and they don't need a lot of excuse to pull the trigger. Basically, I think that Gates has the attitude that he and his company are larger and better than the government. In other words, his ego has overtaken his logic. A deadly combination. Regardless of how large you are, the government is larger, faceless, and, in the end, will outlast you. It's not like Microsoft has a tons of allies in the ranks of the common Joe. So politically, there's not a lot to lose by hammering the company, in fact I think that they will be broken up. It's a great investment if this looks like it will happen, but until than, Microsoft will not do something as stupid as saying " We do not support Java." At least I don't think their that stupid.
