Re: Swing-1.1 (Windows L&F)?

[Moses DeJong]

This is total BS. Microsoft did not write any of the swing code so they
are not in a position to "allow" anything. Sun wrote the code and now
Sun will not let you use it on non windows systems because they fear
Microsoft will just use it as an excuse to sue them. Where have you been
the last couple of years? Microsoft will stop at nothing to slow down
or kill java development because it is a threat to the bottom line. If
people can write apps that run every where then why would they use
window 95-98? Face it, this is just another example of how Microsoft
is hurting cross platform java.
