So in AWT terms, the default Toolkit happens to return peers from
pda.wince.* that are written against native PalmOS widgets? I think
we're saying the same thing -- as are several others.

M$'s strategy was to get developers to write windows-specific Java
code. Sun is trying to stop them. If I'm misremembered the details
of their legal "implementation" I'm sorry. But I maintain that Sun
will try to steer clear of doing the same thing on PalmOS.

I'm reading this as a gratuitous insult. Am I wrong?
