And NO he's not working for MSFT. Why I wonder do we Java people care? Why is MSFT always seen as the dark side?

I don't have the time to go into it now, but I like to call it the Yankee Complex. Any time you have an extremely dominant player in any system the ones who are dominated tend to gang up on the leader. This is because alone they cannot topple the giant, but together they have more power. The affect is reduced when they're are several giants or even two. Not many people get emotional about the oligarchy of Pepsi and Coke. Sentiment more that anything runs rampant in automobile manufacturing preferences. Even GE, a megolithic company, doesn't draw ire because they're simply a comglomerate, even if a dominant one.

So its good to be dominant, but not too much, or at least not obviously so.
