More on Java Interesting article at news.com this morning regarding the latest in the SUNW-MSFT Java lawsuit. Excerpt: Rick Ross, president of Java advocacy group JavaLobby, agreed that Microsoft benefits strongly from Whyte's words on a clean-room version of Java. "Judge Whyte's ruling provides a foundation for Microsoft's (or anyone else's) clean-room implementations to withstand attacks from Sun," he wrote. Overall, the rulings favor Microsoft, Ross said. "Honestly, I must conclude that Microsoft has Sun on the run now. The only legal defense Sun really has left is the brand Java--and that may well be at risk, too. Can you really imagine Pascal or C++ being controlled brand names?"
