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, <a href= "http://www.computerworld.com/governmenttopics/government/legalissues/story/0,10801,91866,00.html">ComputerWorld).
