Microsoft and Sun Microsystems are headed to a U.S. federal court in Baltimore today over an ongoing legal spat that is asking a federal judge to force Microsoft to include Sun's Java programming language in Microsoft's Windows XP operating system. Microsoft attorneys on Tuesday are expected to present arguments before U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz against Sun, which filed its antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft back in March. Sun is seeking more than $1 billion in damages, alleging that Microsoft's policies thwarted the development of its Java software programming language.
