Appeals Court Sides With Microsoft On Java

burgburgburg writes "Reuters reports that the three-member federal appeals court in Virginia ruled today the U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz erred when he ordered Microsoft to include Java with the Windows operating system. Fortunately, Dell and HP, the top 2 PC makers, have already decided to ship Java on the PCs that they sell. Apple, Red Hat and Lindows have also agreed to include Sun's Java." The ruling is available.

Maybe they should toss in small packet of Cheerios in every box of Corn Flakes. How is it fair competition to force a company to include a competitor's product inside their own? Enron and WorldCom are the minority rather than the rule. Most companies expand because they provide desirable goods and services at competitive rates. Regulating business for the sake of regulation only serves to promote inefficiency and incompetence.
