It's better for all of us to have no JAVA preinstalled in
XP instead of having installed by default a brain damaged JDK
� la J++.

And it will be worste with JDK 1.4. With the rate of update in JDK
we could think that in 2 or 3 JDK release we may finish with a full
Java OS....

I doubt that Sun will ever OSS Java. But they must learn from
previous mistake. What had happened if Sun had put SunOs or Solaris
in OpenSource 10 years before ?
They avoided to have Linux so strong today (even if as Linux Hacker
since the first time, I love it and won't convert to others Unix today)
