MS really is using Sun as the next SCO and this is just the first step. Because first they GPL Solaris, Then they let us do the hard work of bringing it up to the 21 century, Then they hire Darl mcbribe to say they really didn't GPL it and the GPL is invaild anyway. Even if they did GPL the previous managment was doing crack(that Darl supplied) so it doesn't count, and they get a do over.



If they do so it would be good Java would be better than Solaris. GPL Java but be the maintianers. That way they still could give it direction.
