Microsoft and Sun agree to historic
noncompetition pact
04/12/2004 01:06 AM

Computing giants Microsoft and Sun announced a pact of noncompetition . Microsoft agreed to pay nearly $2 billion (and perhaps more ) to settle Sun's legal charges concerning unfair competition with their Java language.

Although some details remain to be worked out, speculation about potential effects of the pact is widespread. Gartner posted an analysis suggesting the two may join to expand their combined share of the server market. The future of Java, the powerful and popular language developed by Sun, is uncertain . Additionally, Microsoft has neutralized a powerful opponent , at least for the moment.

Motivations for this pact are various, and much discussed. The combination may be faced against Linux and IBM, as the open source operating system threatens both companies' operations, including Sun's Solaris/SPARC platforms. Financially, Microsoft ends a potentially costly suit, while Sun is dealing with high losses this year.

There was an overwhelming outpouring of response to last week's "Do we really need that much new software from Microsoft?" newsletter (see link below). While some of you thought it was a bit anti-Microsoft (e.g., "I think you're blowing your anti-Microsoft rhetoric way out of proportion here...") most of the correspondence came down heavily on the side of fixing - once and for all - the existing services, applications and operating systems. I'll get to some of those comments in a moment, but one thing I mentioned in passing did draw some thoughtful response.
