They probably wrote that PR story months ago Yah, Charles, they probably did. Since you seem to appreciate humor, you'll probably get a laugh out of this: live.altavista.com Sun Will Not Standardize Java The Geneva-based standards organization ECMA has issued a scathing denunciation of Sun Microsystems for pulling Java off the standardization track. Sun VP George Paolini declined a Java standardization proposal from ECMA this week. On Wednesday, he summoned key licensees to discuss improving Sun's Java Community Process, which Sun has now declared "a standards body." In a letter viewed by Sm@rt Reseller, ECMA secretary general Jan van den Beld says he was "very disappointed" with Sun's withdrawals of Java from both ISO/IEC's JTC1 subcommittee and ECMA standards bodies. Van den Beld describes Sun's refusal to participate as "an enormous waste of experts' time and companies' money" over the last two years. Seems that your buddy Scotty is being a bit 2-faced again. "Java is free, everything is free, we're for open standards, yada, yada, yada." What a hypocrite! LOL! -JB
