Sun sues Microsoft from inside a glass house

Sun is railing at Microsoft, but maybe it should be hiring coders rather than lawyers. In the 1980s, Sun beat the drum for networking and open standards, and those were important campaigns. Today, everybody is in favour of both, but it is still unclear why anybody should buy Sun servers running Sun's Solaris on Sun's Sparc chips with Sun's iPlanet software, or Sun's Unix workstations with Sun's Hotjava browser and Sun's Star Office suite.
One reaction on the Web was that, rather than making even more lawyers even richer, Sun would do better if it hired some decent programmers to write some useful code. What a quaint idea - beating up Microsoft is much more fun.
