Apologies in advance. Denys, I know you don't like Computerworld, but
you'll likely be seeing this quote for quite some time to come.
The article at
<http://www.computerworld.com/news/970730javah.html>
talks about MS declaring war of Java (no news there), so they will not
ship Java Foundation Classes. Steve Ballmer, MS EVP of Sales and Support,
says, "[Sun] is trying to turn the JFCs into the Sun operating system."
Here's the good part. Paul Maritz, MS Group VP, said
"We have no intention of shipping another bloated
operating system and forcing that down the throats
of our Windows customers."
Good thing he said "another." ;)
