Why is it up to Microsoft to make Java easily accessible to the masses?
Note that I'm not saying this is the point you specifically are making, but this was the most applicable post - and the only one with real data
Sun is the one with the most to gain by Java's widespread adoption and yet, as you point out, it is still virtually impossible for the average user to download and install. Why is no one jumping all over Sun for not doing everything they can to get Java on every desktop? Scott McNealy and team are often too focused on trying to crush Microsoft and filing petty lawsuits, and not focused enough on their own customers and developers.
