There is a fairly interesting -- and I believe fairly accurate -- opinion
piece on Java & Sun Microsystems on ABC News' website. Its URL is:

     http://www.abcnews.com/sections/scitech/moody21/index.html

Ralph Nader is making very similar (but much harsher) comments about
Microsoft and its Internet Explorer 4.0, which I believe is being released
today (but MS's server is too busy today to even let me on to check that
statement :-).

The bottom line of both Ralph Nader's comments and that of the article is: Be
very wary of anyone who wants to give you free software.
