Dear Toy (how cute): I guess you don't understand how these things work. MSFT doesn't need to support Java's code all they have to have is a "clean" version of their own. This is not an impossible task and as the Beard suggests might already be fait' accomplis. Believe it or not market presence is what counts and if I were Sun I wouldn't look askance at the benefits of a copetitive involvement with MSFT. For a Windows machine to compile a Java page will not require a license from Sun. So where is the harm to MSFT when they put their "java-like" compiler into the works instead of Suns? I don't understand any of your emotional puling. If the rabid software backer you refer to is IBM (the world's largest software vendor-Hertz) and not MSFT (Avis) what is DOJ doing going after MSFT and not IBM? I have heard of cross dressers but the lack of logic and the extreme emotion would identify you as a cross talker! Good Night
