Microsoft's Holy War on Java

Ray Cromwell writes " There's a new story on news.com called Microsoft's Holy War on Java detailing the efforts Microsoft has gone through to derail Java. As someone who used Intel's JMF, I can tell you it is a loss. Let's hope Sun wins the case." The lengths to which Microsoft went to make Java into a lone lame duckling are quite incredible: adding extentions to Java on Windows which other Javas lack, convincing Intel to drop its Java work, buying other companies that had key technologies Sun was interested in using, etc.
