The long-unwinding legal dispute between Microsoft and Sun has taken a new turn: Microsoft is no longer forced to carry Java, but neither can it implement its own version of Java since this violated Sun's copyrights. In many technology-related cases [particularly with intellectual property], the legal system seems to produce absurd and unhelpful results. On this one, I agree with the court both on what it affirms and what it denies.
