<< Sun's entire business proposition is about open standards. Yes. Sun is the OPPOSITE of Microsoft in that regard. --- That was a very bad guess on your part >> You misunderstood my point. I'm suggesting that if Sun were in MSFT's position (ie. had the majority of the OS market in a form similar to Windows) they would do the same thing. The article you posted questioned MSFT's motives and I'm saying that it's simply good aggressive business. And, if Sun were in MSFT's position, they'd do the same thing. These companies should all be allowed to use aggressive business practices, as long as they don't break the law. The article you posted was attacking MSFT for exactly this practice. This theme extends to the DOJ issue. MSFT was found guilty even though they didn't break the law. That is just my opinion of course. Dave
