Sun hasn't "screw[ed] its partners over," "Sun's goal is to provide the highest quality implementation of the Enterprise JavaBeans API along with our application server offering. We fully expect healthy competition in this market; more competition leads to innovation, which in turn leads to greater customer choice." How does competition from the owner of the Java standards process lead to greater customer choice? The poor suckers at Weblogic thought Sun was a hardware company which was focused on providing the best engine to run Java. Little did they know that Sun wants to be just like Microsoft. And the emphasis of Java IS cross-platform. Why would you think otherwise? Check out: java.sun.com JRE for Win32 JRE for Solaris VM consistency across platforms has been a major problem. The message from Sun is clear. Solaris and Windows are first class Java platforms. Sun owns the Java standard and isn't the least bit interested in turning Java over to a standards committee.
