        This is a pretty biased statement.  Microsoft was clearly in
violation of the license agreement they had with Sun.  Also, MS was trying
to alter Java so that it woudl be usable only on Windows, thereby removing
the entire point of Sun's project.  Its is good and right that sun sued
MS, even if MS got off with a slap on the wrist.
