if Microsoft is a predator then Sun Microsystems is a slut
You might want to look at market trends. .NET is currently used more widely than Java.


"Does Microsoft show any kindness? Go ask Netscape, Sybase, Dell etc "

Does open source show any kindness.
The reason Netscape went out of business was because Apache was giving away a web server for free which competed with Netscapes web server. Netscape could not compete and hence they went bust.

As for Sybase, Dell etc. I dont have any issues with Microsoft.
Infact when Alcatel Lucent filed lawsuits against Gateway, Dell and others it was Microsoft who bailed them out.

Finally, it was Microsoft that kept Apple alive by injecting cash into it when they were half in the grave. Also Microsoft developed software for the Mac. These two things kept them alive.
