[kersnip Re: Sun's intentions for Java along market lines]
Interesting analysis.
I've always found it pretty suspicious that Java technology,
an architecture that champions platform-independence,
is wholly owned by a corporation that builds
not just a proprietary OS, but the hardware to go with it.
The marketing strategies of the parent corporation
HAVE to come into play when planning the future of Java --
Sun would not have survived this long
had they not the business sense to do so.
*sigh* I guess we all can dream of a world
wherein Javasoft is an independent company,
or at least a subsidiary of Ford or something.

(PS: As an occasional low-level programmer,
I heartily agree that Solaris
is beautiful from that perspective.
As an occasional system administrator,
I think Solaris is a giant pain in the tookus.
Though nothing compares to the evil that is Irix. ;)
