Yes, but maybe this is the way to be succesfull in bussiness in the modern world.

I agree, it isn't fair, but on the other hand, maybe Oracle and Sun should have protected their products better. Also, if Oracle and Sun release a product and MS copies it and takes over that market, then one could wonder how they do this. Is it because of their more aggressive marketing, their product being better? :)
Anyway, I think if Oracle and Sun had the bussiness people of MS, they would have kept their market. So I wonder why those bussiness people don't behave like MS bussiness people do, maybe that would be the way to get parts of MS its markets. It will probably bad for their reputation, but it seems they have to choose. Being aggressive and succesfull or not aggressive and not successfull.

So when Sun released Java, they should have protected it better?

Because Oracle and Sun don't have the money that MS does. Remember the borland masters??? Microsoft hired them to develop MFC, so they could take over the c++ compiler market.
