Evidently, Sun's control of Java gave Microsoft the opening it needed.
First there was C, then C++, then Java, and now maybe C#. We Ada people can
watch and laugh. However, Java should have taught us the power of marketing.

Microsoft pulls back support for Java, in blow to rival technology
By John R. Wilke and Don Clark
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
"PRERELEASE COPIES of Microsoft�s new Windows XP operating system, which
goes on sale this fall, drop the software needed to run Java-based programs.
(MSNBC is a Microsoft-NBC joint venture). Java software is used to create
some of the animated and interactive features of Web pages and hand-held
devices; Web surfers using computers with Windows XP won�t see those
features without loading additional software."
