Sure, but what I objected to back then was that Sun was mixing technical and
legal concerns.

I just wish that Sun has shown a little more of nuance in their technical
assessment of these new features, but they clearly did not and they produced
the embarrassing link above. No doubt that Mc Nealy and his anti-Microsoft
crusade is 100% to blame for this position, which confirmed the fact that
Sun was definitely not a software company.
