Micrsoft sucks

Okay, I'm really pissed now. I shouldn't be, since I don't care for Microsoft suff. But check out:

• Microsoft splitting Java - from PC Week.
• see also: Its Time to Choose Sides

Boycott MS! At the very least bitch and moan to them. Do you have add's on your site for Microsoft. Remove them, even for just a while. The beauty of the internet is it's ability to serve all.

Netscape and Sun have gone out with open standards and are doing a good job (IMHO). MS did a great job creating I.E so fast, but have gone out of their way to taint otherwise good technologies.

Stop them now, or you will pay whatever price MS asks for later.

The say they are building a native compiler. GREAT! Make it run fast. But there's not need to butcher the language and VM so it won't run on other machines. Why not implement the java classes and also provide native classes to get the speed.

Common, MS, give us a break.
