Have you ever heard of the Mono project? How about DotGNU? All these are forked open source versions of .Net. Hmmm, so how was Sun open sourcing Java a gain?

And whats with the IBM stuff? I don't see IBM getting back into the computer programming language business. Remember Smalltalk? IBM's primary business is consulting. They leave the silly stuff like programming languages and operating systems to smaller companies like Sun or Microsoft.
