The royal hunt of the Sun
Article Abstract:
Sun Microsystems is keen to emphasize to the almost 700,00 programmers who use its Java programming language that it will remain platform independent. This follows allegations that rival Microsoft has made changes to the Java code to make it more compatible with the Windows operating system. Sun believes that potential Java users should not be deterred by the legal battle it is currently fighting with Microsoft. It has also launched a branding initiative designed to ensure that programmes comply with the strict rules of Java.
