Bruce: My guess is that their plan is keep intellectual and quality control.

Money is not their interest in Java, or Jini.

Remember there are smartcards, PDS's, handhelds, wireless phones and many varieties of small portable computers, embedded uses and many other possibilities which will be huge markets for Java, so maybe someday they may see if they can at least break even on it.

But Java is a means to an end, not primarily designed to make money in and of itself.

Just IMO but from somewhat careful (for me, not like Mike's) observation over a long time.

Bruce,

The single biggest problem plaguing Java is that has historically been slow in mission-critical apps. Now that the Internet is hugely important, it's more recent additional problem is that it consumes too much bandwidth. Before it becomes a real money maker, those two problems must be solved.

You have just tapped all my technical knowledge of Java, so do not ask. :)
