Partnership, schmartnership.

It's great that Microsoft and Sun have finally settled their legal disputes, but do they have to patronize us with this nonsense fluff-talk of partnership, inter-operability, and technology sharing. What a crock'o. Microsoft needed some good PR and Sun needed some cash. Is there anything more to this story than Microsoft saying "you are right Sun, here is $2 billion dollars, now call off your dogs." If there is something more -- something of substance -- it is certainly not being reported in the trade rags (CNet, eWeek, ComputerWorld).

I agree. Sun is desperate for money how else can you xplain settling for $1.6 billion dollars and still have to layoff employees.. Unfortunately, I see them going down, I'm just hoping they don't take Java with it.

Oh well. While Sun may go down, I wouldn't think Java will.. IBM has too much invested to let Java die.
