Java dispute - who suffer the most of: Mary Jo Foley / translation: Liaozheng Date:! February 27, 2001 <- Microsoft has spent $ 20 million trying to settle this dispute, by contrast, a large number of Java The programmer feels that he is big! -> Yes, Microsoft has not only paid $ 20 million but also a four-year time not only to Sun Company, but it doesn't mean that Microsoft is the biggest in this dispute. loser. In fact, it is estimated that about 25 million Java programmers may be the largest victim in this legal proceedings. In October 1997, Sun sued Microsoft to the court without complying with the Java license agreement launched by Sun. Nowadays, Java's scenes can be described as a dramatic change. Microsoft got Java development permissions in 1996, which developed Visual J programming language and its own Java virtual machine, Java's prospects, this is a shadow. In fact, email showing the public in many trials shows that Microsoft's officials have expressed such views: Microsoft believes that only Java is the true threat of Microsoft Windows Empire. Today, today, Java is not only a programming language but also more advanced development technologies. The latest Java technology version J2EE (that is, Java 2 Enterprise Edition) is the latest server-side implementation, which is completely expected to be one of the foundations of the Web services launched by Sun. SUN revealed this Web service policy to the outside world on December 5 last year. Microsoft's representative claims that the company does not intend to get J2EE's development license, it seems that they completely ignore more than 200 companies have started to develop this new technology. Microsoft still plans to advance our Visual J development tools to the 6th edition, and before this, Microsoft did not upgrade this tool since 1998. The 6th edition will become part of Microsoft Visual Studio.Net, but different programming tools in Visual Studio.NET is: Visual J does not use Microsoft.NET structure. Microsoft is encouraging those programs who are obsessed with Java, to Trust Microsoft's latest programming languages C # (pronunciation: "c-sharp"). Net application and service. C # is also part of the Visual Studio.NET family. For those who stick to Java, Microsoft launched Rational Software to them, which allows the Java language to comply with .NET framework specification. Microsoft's product manager Tony Goodhew claims that third-party manufacturers have expressed their interest in developing .NET version Java, but it did not disclose the names of these manufacturers. Microsoft's officials also announced that the company is not prepared to include Java virtual machines in the new version of Internet Explorer browser IE 6.0, while integrating the successor WHISTLER of the Windows 2000 system according to the plan IE 6.0. This way, if you want to access a Web site with Java features, you must download Java from the enterprise site that you have to get a Java license license. Sun: bitter victory? Rick Ross, president of Java Lobby, expressed many developers as follows: "Sun and Microsoft are victorious, truly failing is consumers and developers ..., weak, unreliable Java GUI (graphical user interface) fundamentally Unable to write from 'write once, you can use''s expectations everywhere. "He said:" Microsoft opposes Java's mutter is very disgusting and sinister. I suggest that Sun should pay close attention to Microsoft's trends.
