Sun is seeking an injunction against Microsoft's compatibility claims and unspecific damages, though it has not yet threatened to revoke the license. Meanwhile, Java developers are in a tizzy. Many Java developers see Microsoft intentionally creating a different flavor of Java to confuse the market and slow Java's acceptance. Well, the FUD is flying here. If I want to write Java in the next 60 days, I better take advantage of Internet Explorer.
Developers are the most pragmatic people in the world.
Microsoft has always played tough. If Sun is to win with Java, it will have to be tougher and smarter than its archrival. Inc. All rights reserved.
