If you're really serious about this, you should check out the software from Scientific Learning. One area where they've been very successful is with helping children with dyslexia and other special needs.
Sure it does... remember, its all about perception.
When JBoss doesn't pass (as has been pointed out before... its Sun's test and a free product... so they must already know the outcome), then Sun can say:
"See JBoss is an interesting little diversion, but if you want a REAL J2EE-COMPLIANT APP SERVER, then you need to buy a commercial product."
Undoubtedly, JBoss will fix the areas where they are not compliant. But by the time they do, a new J2EE spec will probably be out, and they won't be able to pass again. Keep in mind that all the major app server vendors define the specs via JCP... so JBoss is necessarily going to always be playing catch up.
Its a pretty smart move by Sun. It keeps them from looking like the bad guy, or "anti-open source", but at the same time serves to marginalize JBoss as a competitor to "legitimate" commercial app servers.

Pretty interesting company, actually... educational software based on brain research on how people *actually* learn.

for some inexplicable reason, i'm suddenly in the mood for a game of lawn darts...
Err... Service Pack 1 for Windows XP is already released.
So does this mean that they must IMMEDIATELY disclose all this API information?
When you compile these applications, doesn't the source code contain platform-specific optimizations?
It wouldn't surprise me that the implementation of Linux sendmail (for instance) has been tweaked to run faster than the OSX version.
Obviously, the excuse "its not the OS, its the apps" holds little water... since the OS is only as good as what you run on it... but still...
anyone else find it ironic that its microsoft technology that may finally enable integration between kde & gnome?

that bill gates... he's all about love, unity, and linux...
it was improper labeling. the sticker said "don't steal MUSIC"...
