Sun must make up its mind!! If Sun wants to compete with Microsoft, it
should go head on. I don't think Sun or Java can win by going into the
seclusion of the Open source. I think Sun must not do it! Keep Java
proprietary. Its capitalism that brings quality, not the volunteerism. If we
need improvement then it must be proprietary. By making Java open source,
Sun might be hailed as "nice guy" but Java will loose the wind of cut throat
competition and improvement, in its wings. MS is considered "Bad Guy" but
look what they are producing and innovating and making everything user
friendly to stay in the market. Think if MS was an open source and depended
on volunteer's intellectual charity.
People need product which is user friendly and accepted at gross root level.
Products that has other related and assisting technologies. Why Sun don't
invest on HotJava? JavaOS? and stop complaining about IE and Windows.
Instead of heading to the woods of open source, Sun must face MS head on.
That way, In my view, users will benefit more and Java will improve. There
are some "monks" who keep preaching about open source common users don't
care about open source, they care about how friendly a product is. It is
capitalism STUPID!! That's what drives the products.
