John - Re: "if you were a shareholder of a company, would you want that company to talk about how they grow their business and make money or have them engage in a holy war against Microsoft and IBM?"

I'd be stunned if the officers of a company had a "Holy War" against their competitor.

This brings up religious ferverance - and common sense (and certainly business sense) get tossed out in pursuit of conquering the "supposed infidels".

Re: "If you are going to start a holy war in the technology industry, wouldn't you want to go against a lesser set of opponents than Microsoft and IBM? "

Excellent point ! However, I believe SUN thinks that they can beat Microsoft with their misuse of our political and legal systems.

SUN may end up in the Netscape scrapheap.
