Sun seeks injunction against Windows 98 PALO ALTO, Calif., May 12 (Reuters) - Sun Microsystems Inc. said Tuesday it is asking a federal judge to issue an injunction to force Microsoft Corp (MSFT - news). to include a ''compatible'' version of Java in its Windows 98 operating system. Lisa Poulson, a Sun spokeswoman, said the computer maker had asked U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte in San Jose to issue the injunction. She said Sun was seeking a similar injunction for Microsoft software development tools. Poulson said the company has seen enough Windows 98 source code to determine that it contains ''incompatibilities'' with Microsoft's agreement to license Java from Sun. Sun sued Microsoft in October, contending that Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.0 browser and other products violate the 1996 licensing agreement between the two companies. In March Whyte issued an injunction barring Microsoft from using the ''Java compatible'' logo on two products pending the final outcome of Sun's lawsuit. ''We'd be gratified to settle this matter at any time, but until that happens we believe it is important to look at Windows 98 as a delivery vehicle for Java technology and to make sure that, at a minimum, there are at least as many copies of a fully compatible Java implementation in the marketplace as there are copies of Microsoft's incompatible technology,'' Alan Baratz, president of Sun's Java software division, said in a statement. Poulson said the latest motions were filed under seal because of proprietary information in the documents. However, she said Sun would try to get permission from Microsoft or the court to unseal the complaint.
