  Sun-Microsoft: Missed opportunities
Time: 11:04 EST/16:04 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Microsoft's rejection of Sun Microsystems' Java is nearly complete. Save for the occasional nod towards Java's popularity in enterprise development, Java does not enter into any of the development plans at Microsoft. This is the outcome of a three-and-a-half year legal battle over Microsoft's implementation of Java technology. Sun would have us believe that the successful suit saved the world from Microsoft's corruption of Java's "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA) promise. In truth, all Sun has accomplished is to create a void for a VM-style technology on Windows, creating a market opportunity for the ultimate "polluted" Java (.NET). It would have been better for Sun to have allowed Microsoft to chart its own course with Java and relied on developers to make their own decisions than to chase off the investment and marketing muscle Microsoft could have put into Java.
