A tantrum response on your part. As a Sun shareholder you would want the world's largest manufacturer of software to be a part of your language. Actually if I were the MSFT people I would go back to Sun and see if a new agreement could be worked out. Failing in that MSFT could offer a new type of Java under a new Brand Name that would work transparently with Windows to bring them the "Java experience" that they need to interpret Java pages presented by various servers. At present one can always tell when they are on a Sun implementation of Java by the Slllllloooowwnnessss thereof. Actually Sun might be shooting themselves in the foot as without MSFT support it becomes a minor event in the evolution of net usage. MSFT has no obligation to support any application or language that is outside of the best interests of MSFT, its shareholders and its customers. At the present the shareholders and consumers in large measure are satisfied with MSFT as it outsells the competitors. Remember you can always buy a Mac or a Sun work station. JFD
