> why the obsession with MSFT?

It's fight them now or fight them later. M$ (if left to their
own devices) will take over EVERYTHING! While sun has the hype
of Java on their side NOW is a good time to use it to KEEP
M$ from being a competitor. Remember, sun got their start
in the workstation/desktop for scientific area. They had their
fair share of "No application? Then no hardware sale."

Developers will only port to one or two platforms. That's the
sweet spot for them. Sun just wants to make sure they are at LEAST
the second.
