Another preventing matter is Bill's ego. IMO, he'd rather die than admit that all along, since the internet and java caught on, he knew of their mortal threat to his darling OS, in the while spreading FUD. His game has gotten boringly old for me.

First off, the Internet is not a threat in any way to Windows. If anything, it has increased sales for Microsoft.

Secondly, I think Gates is perfectly capable of admitting fault, as long as that admission came with a big fat check. If he has to swallow his pride and do stuff in Pure Java, he'll only do so when he can make billions of dollars from it.
