Sun asks for forgiveness
C|Net | at | by Mike
Stupid Sun, first sues Microsoft over java (because MS has created faster Virtual Machine, and Sun couldn't) and now begs to put java back. Fools!
"It is ironic that we spent three years in litigation with Sun over their attempt to stop us from shipping Java in Windows, and now they are complaining that we are not shipping it by default in Windows XP," said Jim Cullinan, Windows XP lead product manager.
"Sun can't have it both ways," he said. "They don't want Microsoft to have monopolistic control, but at the same time they want them to control their Java. No matter what Microsoft does, Sun is going to try and demonize them."
