Why the hell should they? It's Microsoft's product, and Sun thinks they should be forced to distribute a competitor's product? Is Coke required to include a can of Pepsi in every twelve-pack they sell?

Damn this thread grew faster then I realized, I just remember this post.
I kind of agree with Tob on this one. I've actually brought this issue up and everyone just kind of skirts the real subject. I remember thinking that what other companies wanted was similiar to what would happen if Sony suddenly deciding that all car companies should have to install their speakers and decks. Though I dislike Microsoft I always found some of the issues kind of iffy.
