As for 'MicroSoft may give you a "0% Pure Java" logo', I am not a MSFT advocator (I certainly have had my share of problems with them) but as a MSFT share holder I really believe they have something to offer to Sun's internet model of platform independence. You will find out as IE 4.0 and their new VM becomes available. They no longer want to control the PC desktop market. MSFT's strategy is to port its Windows platform/applications/OS and everything else to all platforms (including UNIX - And this time they really mean it) through their Virtual machine and explorer. So now just think an application that used to be 100% windows based can be run on an NC (or on a UNIX sparc workstation). Reality or not, that is what Microsoft intends to do and I am sure with all the resources they have available they will be manged to deliver also (maybe not so soon as they want but they will deliver on that intention). And I do hope they do because that is why I love SUNW so much to deliver all the servers and NCs the world needs! Regards, - Addi Jamshidi
