Nobody is "bashing" M$. The facts are that Sun had to sue them twice because Sun controls the rights to Java - not M$!! It's interesting that all other signees of the Java Standards seems to have had no problem following the agreements. After the first judge handed down the "stop corrupting Java" decision; M$ evidently thought they were above the laws that the rest of the world is expected to follow and continued to attempt to screw up the Java Standard. So, back to court, only this time M$ was slammed hard resulting in the "facts" that you state (although the betting in the Industry is that M$ will find a way to save face and continue to offer standard Java down the road).
As you state, M$ yanked Java without notifying anyone. Sure sounds like the kid with the ball and bat that abruptly goes home because he can't have his way, doesn't it.
Rants??? Nahhh! With M$, just stating the facts regarding the sleazy things they normally try to get away with seem to send the die hard M$ worshippers (and/or M$ employees) off into orbit. Sorry 'bout that.
By the way, what are your thoughts on M$ recently volunteering to restrict what you can record or watch on your very own pc? Or is that just another one of those "hey that's life" details. Just curious.......
