John Carroll has written a very intresting commentary on a different stratagy Sun could have taken with Microsoft on Java. [Zdnet News]
The essence of the piece is that sun should have allowed the java extensions that Microsoft did. The result would be allowed sun to pull in the good stuff, and suck in the huge vb/windows developer base.

Michael Robertson responds to Ballmer's Cnet Interview about the price/value difference between Lwindows and a simular Windows XP box. Micheal tries to claim that Lindows is $427.28 and Windows comes out to $1067.10. However he gets really shaddy on his list of pricing. If you replace Office XP on the Windows XP box with StarOffice for Windows (comparing apples with apples) you replace $478.87 with $75.95. Now lets put a comparable html editor like the one in the netscape or mozilla which costs $0. What's the new total? $504.21. So is Windows worth the $75 difference? I hope so.
