Just who is the competition?

Netscape & Sun for two. Sun just claimed early this morning via a press release from Singapore that "it won't matter whether or not we win our lawsuit against MSFT. In a few years Java will be in more devices than Win95/8 is in now."

I'm not sure if Netscape qualifies as legit competition, but they thought they were, for a while there, when the golden halo surrounded their stock. Remember when NSCP sported a PE ratio of 999? I do. And I remember James Barksdale rationalizing that price to a group of reporters. Fine. Whatever. "Kill Microsoft" Yeah. That too.
