Microsoft, Sun to talk interop
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft and Sun are scheduled to talk about their platform compatibility, spokespersons with both companies said Monday. It's been eight months since the companies celebrated the end of their legal war with a landmark $1.9 billion settlement of long-running charges against Microsoft involving Java.
As part of the settlement, Sun promised to work with Microsoft on interoperability. In a conference call scheduled for this Wednesday, Sun CTO Greg Papadopoulos and a yet to be determined vice president with Microsoft will update press and analysts on their progress so far.
