the windows branding fee is in the price. you make it for a buck and sell it for $90. you're insane if you don't think windows has a "brand." u know nothing about business. brands make money. if you don't have PRICING POWER, which is obvious now that JAVA doesn't, u don't have a brand. as the talented mr mcnealy says, we haven't made a dime off of java, and we NEVER will. that's SOME brand there. btw, i see the market agrees with u about msft's future. say hi to java's four "paying" customers for me. how does it feel to have msft actually MAKE money on java, and sun NOT?
