Microsoft to appeal Sun injunction

Microsoft plans to appeal a federal injunction handed down Monday that will force the company to include Sun Microsystem's latest version of Java in Windows. A Microsoft spokesman said the company is "disappointed" with its early review of the Court's decision. "After our initial review, we do intend to appeal this injunction and will ask the Appeals Court to hear it on an expedited basis," he said.
Green believes Sun will see a significant boost in its Web services initiatives if Microsoft is required to include an updated version of Java in Windows. The current version of Java Microsoft makes available is "five or six years old," he said. "It's missing many of the features relative to end-to-end networking."
