Re: no Java in XP Windows

Hi John,

I think that with any break up there would have to be new faces in at least
one of the companies. If it's just a split on paper, with the same people
running both companies, I don't see any changes happening. With new
management, there's a chance. OTOH, how close are the individual
programmers? It doesn't take much to send a code snippet via email. And if
they are paid in stock options...
