Herve writes "Sun Microsystems announced it has filed a private antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft Corporation. The suit, filed March 8, 2002 in the United States District Court in San Jose, CA., seeks remedies for the harm inflicted by Microsoft's anticompetitive behavior with respect to the Java[tm] platform and for damages resulting from Microsoft's illegal efforts to maintain and expand its monopoly power. In June 2001, the Federal Court of Appeals found Microsoft guilty of illegally abusing its monopoly power with respect to Sun and the Java platform. Sun's suit seeks to redress the competitive and economic harm caused by Microsoft's illegal acts."

This is just another attempt for a loser to try and cash in. If you can't beat them at their own game, file suit.
Did you ever consider that maybe Sun, Oracle, HP, Apple, etc. don't wish to break the law in order to compete with Microsoft? Microsoft got where they are now by breaking the law. Their insistance that we don't believe we broke the law so it did not happen not withstanding.
