"Then there are the really nasty deviations from global standards that Microsoft has deliberately introduced to sabotage interoperability and freedom of choice. Take HTML and Java for example. The Frontpage web editor, the IIS webserver and the various backend E-commerce products all generate proprietary extensions to HTML and scripting languages that only Internet Explorer on Windows will handle correctly, and renders all other web browsers and platforms unusable. The same goes for Java support: Microsoft Java does not follow the Java specifications. Again this means that applets in this particular dialect can only be executed by Microsoft's own Java engine on Windows. Yet Microsoft used the Java label for products that were incompatible with the Java standard. This caused Sun to file suit. Microsoft then dropped the global Java standard entirely and now only supports their own Java dialect. The net result of this whole procedure is that Microsoft web server products and development tools generate code that needs Windows, Internet Exporer and the Microsoft Java engine at the user end in order to work properly."
Support for the platform-independent Java programming language on the other hand has been dropped entirely from Windows XP, which leaves only Microsoft's own scripting and language support. Microsoft claimed that this was done in response to legal actions from Sun, but in truth the legal agreements allow them to ship Java with their products for several years to come -- provided they follow the Java standard. Rather than doing this, Redmond's marketeers decided to remove Java from Windows XP entirely. Even Microsoft hasn't been able to explain how this benefits the user community. First they attempted to corrupt Java by creating their own incompatible variety, but Sun filed suit and won. Under the conditions of that legal settlement, Microsoft was forbidden to ship their own incompatible product and call it Java, but they were allowed to support 'pure' Java. In an open letter to their customers, Microsoft claimed that "Sun resorted to litigation to stop Microsoft from shipping a high performance Java virtual machine that took optimal advantage of Windows" and that "Sun's idea of choice is that you can have any language you want, as long as it is Sun's version of Java under Sun's control." So now Microsoft tries to kill of Java (and platform independence) by removing Java support from Windows. After accusing Sun of restrictive policies, they now allow their own customers to use only Microsoft's version of Java under Microsoft's control. Of course the latter is available on Windows only, while Sun's Java may be implemented on any platform by any developer, provided that the Java standard is followed and compatibility issues are respected.
