H-P to market its own strain of Java: move opens up a fissure in an industry alliance against Microsoft Corp

Article Abstract:

HP will announce plans today to develop its own Java-based specifications and software for numerous electronic devices, including its popular computer printers. The large computer and electronics company's move not only represents a departure from Sun Microsystems, it also weakens an industry alliance against Microsoft. HP's new Java flavor will be included in Microsoft's Windows CE OS, according to Microsoft. Sun commanded 'excessive' licensing fees for a consumer-electronics version of Java, according to an HP official, who stressed that HP is not striving to create a Java software business. HP ultimately aims to seize Java from Sun, its creator, and transfer the programming language to an industrywide group that no single company dominates.
