Michael: > may I suggest that all of MSFT operating systems, technically, have > been a shot in the foot. MSFT should stick with applications... I wont go this far. MSFT is a great software company. But notice that I said 'Software'. Anyone for whom they make the software for will benefit greatly. Sun has introduced the idea and innovation for a universal open software environment through Java, and JavaBeans model. Microsoft is taking the full advantage of this innovation and will be pushing its Windows based environment and applications through their browsers and Java Virtual Machine not only on the Windows platform but also on the Unix platforms. This is great news for Sun's hardware side of business. I dont believe JavaSoft can ever compete with Microsoft (or very much profitable for that matter) but Sun can certainly tease Microsoft in order to develop their innovations so their hardware business can benefit greatly! Microsoft in a sense has become a tool for Sun (and being manipulated by Sun) to push Sun's own agenda and internet model which ultimately will result in an explosive growth for servers and NCs as seconds go by!
