thejavajar

Although many people believe that IBM and Sun Microsystems are synonymous with Java, especially in the corporate environment, I do believe that there is a need for keeping things separate. The concept is somewhat similar to the separation of church and state here in the United States. On one side, we have the belief and ability to make changes and foster ideas to keep things open and less constrained. Then on the other side, we have walls and boundaries that limit when and where we can go. We don’t have to mix our beliefs with every aspect of what we do and we surely do not want our limitations to constrain our ideology and options. I appreciate what each company does within their own space but I am a bit weary about IBM purchasing Sun.
