As much as I mistrust Microsoft... by Ouaff 2002-03-08 15:31:44
Sun is out of their gourd with their latest suit.

It's almost as if this conversation took place:
SUN: "We've got this new thing called Java! Use it!"
MS: "Okay, we'll use it."
SUN: "No, no, you're using it all wrong!"
MS: "We're just tweaking it to work better on our OS."
SUN: "Which is wrong!"
MS: "Really?"
SUN: "Really."
MS: "Too bad."
SUN: "We'll sue!"
MS: "Go ahead."
SUN: "See, we sued you for breach of contract! Now you can't use Java!"
MS: "I see."
SUN: "How do ya like them apples?"
MS: "Oh well. Guess we won't use Java, then."
SUN: "What?!"
MS: "You sued us. We can't use Java anymore."
SUN: "But you should use Java! It's good stuff!"
MS: "But you sued us to make us stop using it."
SUN: "Use Java!"
MS: "You told us we couldn't."
SUN: "But it's good!"
MS: "So I hear. Did I mention we're coming out with a new OS? Guess we can't put Java on it."
SUN: "Put Java in your new OS! It's good stuff!"
MS: "We can't. You sued us."
SUN: "We'll sue you! We'll make you use Java!"
MS: "I've been down this road before, and I don't like where it heads."
