Read the findings of facts that relate to Java before you accuse anyone
of "doing stuff" to harm Java.

Microsoft apparently violates the law and you complain about being fast
and loose.  Java happens to be Sun's trademark in the same sense that
Windows is Microsoft's trademark. I do not know of any company
attempting to illegal sabotage the Windows trademark, not even Sun.

Reading the findings of facts will do wonders to bring you back into
reality.
