Unfortunately the press releases on www.sun.com do not seem to go back far enough. Luckily Microsoft's do.... http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2004/apr04/04-02SunAgreementPR.mspx Below is a quote from the press release - "Sun and Microsoft have agreed to pay royalties for use of each other's technology" Do you have a reference to the "Sun own marketing dept. bragging"? The Microsoft PR is the same as what I thought was on www.sun.com at the time.
