WASHINGTON, June 26
A federal appeals court on Thursday overturned a ruling that would have forced Microsoft Corp. to incorporate Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Java programming language in the Windows operating system.
THE THREE-JUDGE PANEL in Richmond, Virginia, said a lower court judge had erred by ordering Microsoft to carry its rival's software, a penalty the lower court judge said was necessary to make up for Microsoft's past misdeeds.
The lower court judge, U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz, was assigned cases arising from the landmark government antitrust suit against Microsoft filed in 1998. He concluded in a Dec. 23 ruling that Sun had a good chance of winning its private case against Microsoft.
excellent. Hopefully java will be gone in a few years. I hate java :|
