J.P. -
I don't suppose you looked at the date on the article? Another point I would like to make is that the spec for Java *is* open. Given enough time (and enough interest), I could write my own JVM implementation, and have it certified. I could not, however, write my own implementation of the Win32 API, and neither could anyone else outside of MSFT. That's the difference.
