The Case for Java |
|
It appears Sun and Microsoft are now headed to court to sort out their differences about their Java licensing agreement. IBM is not a party to this suit, but we are a strong supporter of a consistent Java platform implementation for the benefits it provides to customers, developers and computer systems suppliers.
Other major industry vendors--Netscape, Oracle and Novell among them--also share this perspective and commitment to enable users to easily leverage their existing information technology investments and participate in the explosive growth potential of the Internet. Grassroots efforts such as the Java Lobby also reflect the views of developers large and small who would like to see a consistent Java foundation.
Lawsuits aside, the real issues for our customers are productivity and creating business opportunity. And Java, in its pure form, does just that.
