I don't know what either you or fuzzymath are talking about. I don't think I've ever heard of Patrick Naughton, despite reading every news article I can lay my hands on about Sun and Java; is this some Seattle lore or can you cite a reference?

Sun has an obligation to it's shareholders to leverage SOMETHING from Java. The current (minority) complaint is "okay, well Sun is opening up Java, but we don't want to have Sun's brand either..". --- Tell me, you think M$ would ever, under any possible circumstance, go to the ANY length with Windows to make it open and cooperative? Submit it to a standards body? Give up the freakin' BRAND??? --- You can't *possibly be sincere. -JCJ

SUNW can afford to have a big head with Java (at least part-time). Java is taking over the server-side, it has taken over the Open Source server-side with JSERV/Apache and IBM's Visualage for JAVA/Websphere, it is taking over the wireless side (Symbian), CE's flop is helping Java take over the set-top box arena and InterNet appliance market, it is making MSFT non-compliant with the rest of the world. Hopefully, BillG will remain arrogant enough to think that he can remain Java non-compliant as the rest of the world surrounds him. McNealy will make sure that he does by irritating him as much as possible. <g>
