Sun has asked the judge in its private antitrust suit against Microsoft to require MS to include Sun's Java interpreter with every copy of Windows XP shipped. According to News.com, Judge Frederick Motz found this idea "attractive", but had reservations about whether the solution would benefit consumers and not just Sun.
Motz said that the bundling would be "wonderfully elegant and simple" as a remedy (presumably, in comparison with strong structural remedies or the complex settlement MS worked out with the DOJ). However, he expressed doubts that Java really needs the competitive boost; Microsoft has been trying to argue that Java is enough of a success that Sun doesn't need the help.
