-- Hewlett-Packard Co (HWP - news) is to announce plans to market its own variant of Java software, breaking with Sun Microsystems Inc (SUNW - news), the Wall Street Journal reported. It said Hewlett-Packard would now compete with Sun, the creator of Java, and had signed a deal with Microsoft Corp (MSFT - news). Hewlett-Packard closed at 63 on Thursday. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Hell, Sun doesn't need to worry about a Microsoft sponsored Java fragmenting strategy. Novell is already making noises about their dissatisfaction with Sun over Java. It is a pipe dream to think a group of companies (IBM, Sun, Novell, Netscape) can set Java standards when they are competitors of one another. I thought we learned this lesson with Unix. The wonderful unix standards committees brought us crap like Motif which is why Unix is suffering today.
