It was just a matter of time

    Now dont get me wrong. I dont like Microsoft. And fully and tottaly support the States' fight for antitrust penalties against the company. But this lawsuit is just dumb.



    I remember a while back how Sun was sueing Microsoft to remove Java from Windows. And now they are sueing Microsoft to force them to add it?



    Amazingly this is one lawsuit that Micro$oft dosnt deserve.

    Microsoft deserves every lawsuit, and a lot more besides. Everyone who has a qualm with M$ should sue now. Hit'em big and hit'em hard

    What I think is funny is that Kodak is suing Sun for some patent infringement with java. The wall street reported that last month but nobody picked up on it.
