Ben, Dr. Eric Schmidt is the CEO of Novell. He came from Sun Micro and served as the chief technology officer who "was instrumental in the widespread acceptance of Java..." novell.com Dr. Schmidt played a critical role in the development of Java as an executive with Sun. My guess is that the announcement you refer to involves Sun's version of Java.

Oracle just reported 41 cents/shr (beat the estimates by 3 cents), and Progress Software also reported this morning and beat the estimates by 6 cents. PRGS stock went up by about $9 today, and Oracle is already trading up in after hours by about $2/shr. These 2 companies (one small, and the other one a giant) both are commited to Sun's technology 100% and obviously are making money as a side effect of it. Therefore I have a very strong feeling Sun will at minimum meet the estimates (if not beat them). Regards, Addi Jamshidi
