Sun is much like MacOS, they are primarily a hardware company
selling overpriced hardware bundled with their OS. Now Java was
never a tightly bottle up proprietary thing. It was always subject
to cloning and that was going on at full speed when Sun liberated
their version of Java.
Sun's problem is being less able to sell overpriced hardware
for people trying to avoid running Windows in their datacenter.
