Microsoft never promoted Java...
... despite your views, the world understand what really happened.

You see, Microsoft recognized that Java was a threat to their cash-cow. Microsoft realized that cross-platform applications would unlock applications from a Windows lock-in. wink

Microsoft licensed Java, (Embracing it). Then they added proprietary, MS-only extensions (Extend). Then, we the developer tried to port it to a non-windows system, it failed. The unwary developer blamed Java (Extinguish?).

So Lovey, tell me why again that the guy who invented Java should be grateful to Microsoft? You really are out of touch.
