Can someone explain to me why there is the view that Microsoft shouldn't be allowed to "balkanize" Java?

Is this some kind of a trick question Sal? It's not like we haven't been through it a million times before. Microsoft is "allowed" to do whatever it can get away with. And we know they'll push the limits, always. SMBP, and all that. The problem with their "Java strategy" is that it's so transparent. Java's nice enough as a language, but the ideas aren't new, believe me. Portability and independence from Microsoft are what's driving it forward, and what Microsoft's fighting. At least they're being relatively straightforward about it these days.

Cheers, Dan.
