Microsoft Denies Rumors That It Is Crafting a Language
Like Java


By LAWRENCE M. FISHER

The Microsoft Corp. is playing down a report in Monday's PC Week, a trade magazine, that the software giant has been briefing software developers on a new programming language that would be similar to Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Java software, but free of technological or licensing obligations to Sun. ...


Microsoft trying to do what it does best. Steal others ideas and market through their monopoly. We all knew that MSFT wasn't going to just sit quietly by and let Sun shine alone. Reminiscent of what MSFT did with Apple when it developed windows, or to Netscape with Internet Explorer.

All the best,
Michael
