JavaTechnology Rape In this week's Javalobby Newsletter, Rick shares his concerns about the Sun/MS settlement. Rick's involvement in the court case really gives him a unique perspective. Like everyone else I have more questions than answers. I really don't understand why Sun is willing to let MS rape its technology. MS always manages to emerge on top, leaving its so called technology-partners in the dust. We've witnessed it times and times again. They are a force to reckon with. Sun is hardly up to the challenge. I'm also having a tough time understanding what Sun brings to the table. I can see why MS wouldn't mind sparing some pocket change to settle the case, but I'm confused as to what Sun is actually expecting out of it. Sun is neither strong enough, nor smart enough, to dictate anything. They'll be lucky to collect MS leftover breadcrumbs in the end. Where did the links go? Visit my new Linkblog.
