SUNW already has little choice but to work closely with IBM on JAVA


A gorilla like IBM wouldn't be working with a natural competitor like
Sun unless they were in a position of weakness.

Sun controls the Java standard.

Open competition between Sun and IBM on Java will do nothing but lead
to unix style fragmentation. This is kind of hard to avoid when they
are both hardware companies with much overlap.

So how can any alliance work?
