Sun sues M$ over JVM inclusion?!?
It was a article in CRN from Jan 6, about how Sun sued and won an initial injunction to force M$ to include Suns latest version of it's JVM into XP. Instead of the 6 year old MS revised version.
This astounds me.
While I am not the biggest fan of M$ practices, I have to ask, where does the insanity end?
Why does a vendor such as M$ have to be forced to include something into their product that they do not own? Even though the sun jvm is freely downloadable off of sun's site.
Maybe I am looking at it too much from a linux users point of view. Where if I don't have something I have to go and get the src or the rpm from another location. Other then where I got my distro from.
Does this mean that Sun is going to sue vendors like RedHat, Slackware and Mandrake?
And correct me if I am wrong, but is'nt most of the java processing done on the server side anyways? (I'm not a bigfan or user of java apps, so I am not an authority on the subject).
Am I missing the point somewhere in all of this sueing of M$?
