Be fair Joe.

If the contract between Sun and Microsoft is interpreted by the courts
to say that MS must do only 100% Java, then why should a decision - by
any party - be necessary? Which Win32 API do you program to? 8-)

Of course, Morris still looks like an ass without similarly qualifying
his statement. But he could easily have been quoted out of context.
